Larry McCay commented on KNOX-506:
----------------------------------

Hi [~andreina] - Current behavior should be that adding an alias that already exists overrides the previous value. Changing this behavior may affect existing deployments where aliases are rolled to new values occasionally.

Have you observed the value not being overridden?
If that is the case then there is a bug in there.
