[Opensc-devel] pkcs15-init --store-certificate: Failed to store certificate: Non unique object ID

[Graham L. <mi...@sh...>]

Hi all,

When an attempt is made to load a renewed certificate onto a properly formatted and otherwise working smartcard as follows, the error "Non unique object ID" is returned as follows:

[root@gatekeeper ~]# pkcs15-init --store-certificate john.cer --label "John Smith (Globalsign)" --auth-id 01
Using reader with a card: ACS ACR 38U-CCID 00 00
Failed to store certificate: Non unique object ID

Can someone explain what this error is trying to tell me?

What is an “object ID” when it comes to a certificate?

There is a previous certificate on the same smartcard that is being renewed, does this previous certificate need to be removed before the replacement is added?

Regards,
Graham
