Under certain circumstances it is possible to create a Certificate Authority profile with the same name of an already existing profile. The system should prevent the creation of the duplicate-name profile, but it allows it. Once the duplicate-name profile is created, the system reports a validation error when loading the configuration.
Although this is a prohibited configuration, the system does not prevent it. After saving, when you reload the configuration using the command 'tmsh load sys configuration', the system reports a validation error similar to the following: 01070293:3: The profile name (/Common/ca_profile_name) is already assigned to another profile. Unexpected Error: Validating configuration process failed.
-- A profile exists with a specific name. -- A new Certificate Authority profile is created with the same name as the existing profile. -- The configuration with the new Certificate Authority profile is saved (note that this should not be allowed, and validation should fail and prevent the save operation).
There is no workaround other than to ensure that every Certificate Authority profile has a unique name.
