Reopen Issue

I tried to renew system certificates according to the wiki article. During the step "Updating System Certificates" the command fails with following error message:

pki-server subsystem-cert-update -i {instance_name} ca sslserver --cert sslserver.crt
certutil: could not find certificate named "Server-Cert cert-{instance_name}": SEC_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS: security library: invalid arguments.
ERROR: Command: certutil -D -d /var/lib/pki/{instance_name}/alias -h {token_name} -f /tmp/tmpqx6njp_8/password.txt -n Server-Cert cert-{instance_name}

The certificates gets stored using the token name prepended therefore the certutil command is not able to delete it:

certutil -L -d /var/lib/pki/{instance_name}/alias -h {token_name}
Certificate Nickname                                         Trust Attributes
                                                             SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI
Enter Password or Pin for "{token_name}":
{token_name}:auditSigningCert cert-{instance_name} CA       u,u,Pu
{token_name}:caSigningCert cert-{instance_name} CA          CTu,Cu,Cu
{token_name}:ocspSigningCert cert-{instance_name} CA        u,u,u
{token_name}:Server-Cert cert-{instance_name}               u,u,u
{token_name}:subsystemCert cert-{instance_name}             u,u,u

Deleting the certificate in question manually and reexecure the subsystem-cert-update command seems to work.
