## Symptoms

- * `'Peer sent wrong DN: CN=cp_mgmt<CERTIFICATE DETAILS>** Try to reset SIC at the peer and re-establish the trust'` message is received when trying to initialize SIC from the Active Management Server to the Standby member.  

* FWM debug during SIC initialization on the Standby member, shows:

  ```
  
  sic_client_handler: server sent wrong sic name to the client cn=cp_mgmt,o=<ACTIVE MEMBER>..<STRING A>
  sic_client_handler: Trying to make connection with sic name "cn=cp_mgmt,o=<ACTIVE MEMBER>..<STRING B>"
  ```

  <br />

  but peer says its SIC name is "cn=cp_mgmt,o=\<ACTIVE MEMBER\>..\<STRING A\>".   

* The SIC certificate for the Standby member is automatically revoked.

## Cause

Corruption in the ICA / CRL database

The SIC names are different between both members , the CRL database is also different and therefore it revokes the certificate automatically
