e-mail traffic that should be executed for the vendor you want to add to
the list.
— AddtoSoftwareVendorList
After specifying information on the new vendor, click on this button to
add this vendor to the list.
A message will then be displayed, saying if the vendor has been added successfully
and providing information on the result of the verification process.
If the inspection of the vendor certificate resulted in an error or open issue, the
depth of the certificate is also stated in the error message. By depth is meant
the position the certificate takes within the certificate chain.
So, e. g. depth = 0 means the certificate has been issued immediately for
the software in question, as is the case with self-signed certificates, depth =
1 is for a certificate issued to certify a depth-0-certificate and so on.
The Software Vendor List is displayed at the bottom of this section.
