    Summary

    Recently I had an issue where I couldn’t import a local certificate and recieved the following error. This generally occurs within the web UI on FortiGates. It happened to me when I was attempting to import just the certificate file as a Local certificate.

    Certificate File is Duplicated for CA/LOCAL/REMOTE/CRL cert

    Based on some research. The error occurs when you import a certificate without the private key for it.

    Fix

    The fix for this is to actually choose Certificate and not Local Certificate in the certificate import for it. Just remember to upload the cert/pem file and the private key file with or without a password and click create. Should be all fixed.
