Note
You need to follow the above registration steps. If the registration order is reversed (login Apex Central web console to register to Deep Discovery Web Inspector and then register to Apex Central from the Deep Discovery Web Inspector console), exceptions to Virtual Analyzer Suspicious Objects synchronized from Apex Center will be cleared. Deep Discovery Web Inspector cannot set these exception objects to the internal virtual analyzer's approved list until adding a new exception object.
