## Symptoms

- * Identity sharing fails because PDP gateway cannot connect to PEP gateway after implementing sk65404.  

* Output of '`pdp conn pep`' command on PDP gateway shows the remote PEP gateway as 'Disconnected'.  

* Debug of PDP daemon ("`pdp debug set all all`") on PDP gateway shows:  
  `[ PID ThreadID]@HostName[DATE TIME] sic_client_end_handler: for conn id = N`  
  `
  [ PID ThreadID]@HostName[DATE TIME] [BasicSicClient (TD::Important)] : sic error: SIC Error for PEPC: Client received no authentication`  
  `
  [ PID ThreadID]@HostName[DATE TIME] [BasicSicClient (TD::Important)] : [BasicSicClient (TD::Important)] : failed connecting to server X.X.X.X`

## Cause

There are two \*.p12 certificate files created with the same name (from sk65404), so they override each other, and only one of them works.
