- <item>Specifies the maximum

- cert, and an additional CA cert. The default value is 1.

+ The depth is the maximum number of non-self-issued

+ in a valid certification path. So if depth is 0 the PEER must

+ be PEER, CA, ROOT-CA, if it is 2 PEER, CA, CA, ROOT-CA and so
+ on. The default value is 1.
