Issue
Admin is replacing the software tokens distributed using .sdtid files for security reasons with the tokens distributed via CT-KIP.
The token import fails to indicate that the token already exists. RSA token application should not check for a duplicate token prior to importing the token. The reason for this, once a CT-KIP URL is generated for token distribution, it creates a new seed in the database and the existing token becomes unusable.
Cause
This issue is reported in defect SWTIPHONE-305.
Resolution
This issue is resolved in RSA Software Token 3.0.
