Question

The code in my fabric-ca-server-config.yaml file is as follows:

identities:
     - name: admin
       pass: adminpw
       type: client
       affiliation: ""
       maxenrollments: -1
       attrs:
          hf.Registrar.Roles: "client,user,peer,validator,auditor"
          hf.Registrar.DelegateRoles: "client,user,validator,auditor"
          hf.Revoker: true
          hf.IntermediateCA: true
          hf.GenCRL: true
affiliations:
   org1:
      - department1
      - department2
   org2:
      - department1
      - department2
   org3:
      - department1
      - department2
   org4:
      - department1
      - department2

i get the following error:

how to solve this?

Answer 1

It seems like this error is caused due to previously existing data that is conflicting when you run the code.

Delete the fabric-ca-server.db file and keys in key-store and restart ca_Peers and try again..
