Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to System Settings - Foundation - LDAP Import
2. Change the "Import Interval" from 10 to 200
3. Export the LDAP Import config file
4. Shut down the server
5. In the config file, change the "Import Interval" from 200 to 300
6. Place the config file in osgi/configs
7. Start up the server
8. Go to System Settings - Foundation - LDAP Import and assert the "Import Interval" is still 200
9. Check for the configuration in the database and assert the config file did not overwrite the previous configuration entry but added a new entry instead
