Is there any indication of what the error is on the master CA?
This would likely be in either the debug log or the catalina.out.
Also, you should see the access to update the security domain in the
httpd access log on the master.

Thanks for the steps above.  We'll be sure to keep them handy in case
this happens again, and I think we need to look at the installation code
to make sure that it handles cases where multiple certs with the same
nick are present.
