## Certificate Conflicts

If your SAML client was setup with request or response certificates, or the client being updated is configured with request or response certificates, then you will see the following screen

This screen provides the following options;

- **Use existing certificate** Do not update the certificate(s) currently set for the effected client
- **Upload new certificate** Will allow you to upload new certificates to apply to the effected client

## Upload new certificate

Selecting to upload a new certificate you will be presented with this screen;

Here you can manually add request and response certificates to your SAML client.

## Do not add certificate

If your SAML client was exported with request or response certificates and is new to the system, then you can choose not to add any request or response certificates

If you choose this option, the SAML client will be imported without request or response certificates. You can always add these later through the client edit screen.
