Problem conclusion

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus has been fixed to check for a unique
  certificate name prior to completing the upload. If a duplicate
  name is detected, the error message "The provided certificate
  name already exists. Please provide a unique certificate name."
  will be displayed to indicate a certificate already exists with
  the same name.
