TRUST160
- Certificate already exists ?The SAP error message TRUST160: Certificate already exists typically occurs when you are trying to import a digital certificate into the SAP system, but a certificate with the same identifier (such as the same subject name or key) already exists in the system's trust store.
Cause:
- Duplicate Certificate: The most common cause is that the certificate you are trying to import is already present in the system's certificate store.
- Incorrect Import Process: Sometimes, the import process may not have been completed correctly, leading to inconsistencies in the trust store.
- Different Formats: If you are trying to import a certificate in a different format or with different parameters that match an existing certificate, it may trigger this error.
Solution:
To resolve the TRUST160 error, you can follow these steps:
Check Existing Certificates:
- Use transaction code STRUST to access the Trust Manager.
- Navigate to the appropriate certificate store (e.g., "SSL Client (Standard)" or "SSL Server (Standard)").
- Look for the certificate that is causing the conflict. You can check the details to confirm if it is indeed the same certificate.
Delete or Replace the Existing Certificate:
- If you confirm that the existing certificate is no longer needed or is outdated, you can delete it from the trust store.
- If you need to replace it, you may need to delete the existing certificate first and then import the new one.
Import the Certificate Again:
- After deleting the conflicting certificate, try importing the new certificate again using the same process you initially used.
Check for Multiple Instances:
- Ensure that you are not trying to import the same certificate into multiple locations or stores within the Trust Manager.
Use Different Alias:
- If applicable, consider using a different alias or identifier for the new certificate to avoid conflicts.
