Description

I just ran into the situation where we had made a mistake during an IdP key-rollover and we accidentally put the old key in both certData and certData2 instead of putting the new key in certData2.
This made me wonder if we could get a trigger warning if any of the certData values are the same.

An indicator that marks expired and nearly expired keys would also be really nice to have and would probably also have prevented our mistake.

Research direction

Start by tracing how certData and certData2 are stored, validated, and presented in OpenConext-manage. Clarify whether the requested result includes duplicate-value warnings, expired-key indicators, nearly expired-key indicators, or all three, then define completion criteria and tests for each behavior.
