— by host<br />

Enabling the by host method means that the host is checked without a<br />

certificate being included in the verification process. If the latter method<br />

is chosen, shell expressions, e. g. *.webwasher.com, may be used<br />

to specify an exception.<br />

After enabling this method, select an action from the drop-down list<br />

provided here.<br />

For the meaning of these actions, see the description of the by certificate<br />

method above.<br />

— Add exception<br />

After specifying the appropriate settings, click on this button to add an<br />

exception to the list.<br />

Enabling the by host method means that the host is checked without a<br />

certificate being included in the verification process. If the latter method<br />

is chosen, shell expressions, e. g. *.webwasher.com, may be used<br />

to specify an exception.<br />

After enabling this method, select an action from the drop-down list<br />

provided here.<br />

For the meaning of these actions, see the description of the by certificate<br />

method above.<br />

A message will then be displayed, stating if the exception has been added<br />

successfully and providing information on the result of the verification process.<br />

If the by certificate method has been configured, you are informed whether<br />

the certificate in question was issued by a trusted or not-trusted certification<br />

authority (CA) from the corresponding list.<br />

If the CA could not be found on this list, the certificate is implicitly forbidden.<br />

If the inspection of a certificate results in an error or open issue, the depth of<br />

the certificate is also stated in the corresponding error message. By depth is<br />

meant the position the certificate takes within the certificate chain.<br />

So, e. g. depth = 0 means the certificate has been issued immediately for<br />

the software in question, as is the case with self-signed certificates, depth =<br />

1 is for a certificate issued to certify a depth 0 certificate and so on.<br />

The newly added exception will be shown in a list displayed below.<br />

To display only a particular number of list entries at a time, type this number<br />

in the input field labeled Number of entries per page and enter it using the<br />

Enter key of your keyboard.
