Issue/Introduction

Importing a certificate to the Symantec Messaging Gateway Control Center that was created with a pre-existing private key - that was already imported and has another certificate that has also previously been imported - will overwrite the earlier certificate rather than adding a new one.

Cause

The earlier certificate is overwritten by the newer imported certificate due to the fact that the certificate is tied to the private key.
