How it works...

Certificates are sensitive in nature and could cause multiple issues if replaced incorrectly. This is due to the strict compliance needed and the procedure that heavily depends on user input. There is every possibility that certificates have incorrect entries or errors requiring the user to be able to rollback. For this reason, an operation is invoked to modify the certificates and a copy of the current certificate state is stored in a backup repository. This enables the user to be able to undo the last operation by invoking the utility and restoring it to the previous state. Caution needs to be exercised as only the last operation can be undone and not the historical changes.
