      Workaround: If there are issues with multiple certs, we still have the "VALID" cert pem file. Issue the certutil -D command, repeating it for each copy of the same name cert, until none are left. Then add the cert in again from the pem file (as in step 3.6).

      Description: Guided Exercise: Managing Certificates

      Step 3.6 (p149)

      Before adding the new cert, we should remove the old cert from the NSS Database.

      certutil -L -d ~/idmuser-01-cert/ will show the certificates and their name.

      certutil -D -d ~/idmuser01-cert/ -n idmuser01

      (the CAPITOL D is important to remove ONLY the cert and not also the key!)

      otherwise there will be two copies of a cert with the same name, one revoked, when we export the database in later steps. Firefox can find the revoked one first and fail to authenticate in the upcoming GE.
