<tag>{depth, integer()}</tag>
- <item>Specifies the maximum
- verification depth, i.e. how far in a chain of certificates the
- verification process can proceed before the verification is
- considered to fail. Peer certificate = 0, CA certificate = 1,
- higher level CA certificate = 2, etc. The value 2 thus means
- that a chain can at most contain peer cert, CA cert, next CA
- cert, and an additional CA cert. The default value is 1.
+ <item>
+ The depth is the maximum number of non-self-issued
+ intermediate certificates that may follow the peer certificate
+ in a valid certification path. So if depth is 0 the PEER must
+ be signed by the trusted ROOT-CA directly, if 1 the path can
+ be PEER, CA, ROOT-CA, if it is 2 PEER, CA, CA, ROOT-CA and so
+ on. The default value is 1.
