  The SAP error message SUSR_CERT125 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of certificate mappings in the SAP system, specifically related to the use of explicit mappings for certificates. This error typically arises when the system is trying to process a certificate that does not have a valid issuer or when the mapping configuration is not set up correctly.
