Note • If the WSUS Self-Signed Certificate will be used to sign the update packages created by Software Vulnerability Manager 2019, you can use a different certificate as an alternative.
Important • Administrators must ensure that Software Vulnerability Manager 2019, and its scanning Agent respectively, have access to all necessary system and online resources which allow the application to run as intended. The following addresses should be white-listed in the Firewall/Proxy configuration to ensure that the client system is allowed access to these online resources: crl.verisign.net, crl.thawte.com, http://*.ws.symantec.com, and https://*.secunia.com/
