An operating system identity conflict occurs when a new identity detected by the system conflicts with 
the current identity, if that identity was provided by an active source, such as a scanner, application, or 
user. 

The list of operating system identities in conflict displays in bold in the host profile. 

You can resolve an identity conflict and set the current operating system identity for a host through the 
system web interface. Setting the identity through the web interface overrides all other identity sources 
so that identity is used for vulnerability assessment and impact correlation.
