• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TRUST125 - Certificate is already in the certificate status list ?

  The SAP error message TRUST125: Certificate is already in the certificate status list typically occurs when you are trying to import a digital certificate into the SAP system, and the certificate you are attempting to import is already present in the system's certificate status list. This can happen during operations involving Secure Network Communications (SNC) or when managing SSL certificates.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Certificate: The certificate you are trying to import is already listed in the certificate status list of the SAP system.
  Incorrect Import Process: The import process may not have been completed correctly, leading to the system recognizing the certificate as already present.
  Certificate Management Issues: There may be issues with how certificates are managed within the SAP Trust Manager (transaction code STRUST).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TRUST125 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Certificates:
  
  Go to transaction code STRUST in your SAP system.
  Navigate to the appropriate certificate store (e.g., "SSL Client (Standard)" or "SSL Server (Standard)").
  Review the list of certificates to confirm that the certificate you are trying to import is indeed already present.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Certificate:
  
  If you find that the certificate is already in the list and you want to replace it, you can delete the existing certificate.
  Select the certificate and use the delete option to remove it from the list.
  
  
  
  Re-import the Certificate:
  
  After removing the duplicate, you can attempt to import the certificate again.
  Ensure that you follow the correct steps for importing certificates, including any necessary conversions or format changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Certificate Validity:
  
  Ensure that the certificate you are trying to import is valid and not expired.
  If the certificate is expired, you will need to obtain a new valid certificate.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Certificate Store:
  
  Make sure you are importing the certificate into the correct certificate store that corresponds to the intended use (e.g., client or server).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or guides related to certificate management for additional details and best practices.
