Describe the bug

Real-world use case: A person used her old name (Mädchenname, used before marriage) by accident to generate a new certificate in her drug store. Scanning the new certificate did not work. The name mismatch was apparently not stated by an error message.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Add a certificate with a wrong name to an already existing certificate.

Expected behaviour

There should be a clear error message if a new certificate shall be added, but the name does not agree with the old one's name.
Formulation proposal: "The new certificate's name ... differs from the old one ...".
(E. g. "The new certificates name Kurt Grahl differ from the old one Kurt Henning", but with the standarized names.)

Hi @Friedrich2,

thanks for the report. Both certificates should be in the app after scanning. They will appear as different persons. Go to the certificates tab and scroll down in order to find "active" certificates of different persons.

Best wishes, DS

The in the OP described issue should be fixed with CWA version 2.19: CWA 2.19 improves the assignment of certificates to persons

Can you confirm @Friedrich2?
