	↳	org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.X509Name
		↳	org.bouncycastle.jce.X509Principal

Class Overview

a general extension of X509Name with a couple of extra methods and constructors.

Objects of this type can be created from certificates and CRLs using the PrincipalUtil class.

Inherited Methods

From class org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.X509Name

boolean	equals(Object obj, boolean inOrder)
boolean	equals(Object obj) test for equality - note: case is ignored.
static X509Name	getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj, boolean explicit) Return a X509Name based on the passed in tagged object.
static X509Name	getInstance(Object obj)
Vector	getOIDs() return a vector of the oids in the name, in the order they were found.
Vector	getValues(DERObjectIdentifier oid) return a vector of the values found in the name, in the order they were found, with the DN label corresponding to passed in oid.
Vector	getValues() return a vector of the values found in the name, in the order they were found.
int	hashCode()
DERObject	toASN1Object()
String	toString(boolean reverse, Hashtable oidSymbols) convert the structure to a string - if reverse is true the oids and values are listed out starting with the last element in the sequence (ala RFC 2253), otherwise the string will begin with the first element of the structure.

Public Constructors

public X509Principal (byte[] bytes)

Constructor from an encoded byte array.

Throws

IOException

public X509Principal (X509Name name)

Constructor from an X509Name object.

public X509Principal (Hashtable attributes)

constructor from a table of attributes.

it's is assumed the table contains OID/String pairs.

public X509Principal (Vector ordering, Hashtable attributes)

constructor from a table of attributes and a vector giving the specific ordering required for encoding or conversion to a string.

it's is assumed the table contains OID/String pairs.

public X509Principal (Vector oids, Vector values)

constructor from a vector of attribute values and a vector of OIDs.

public X509Principal (String dirName)

takes an X509 dir name as a string of the format "C=AU,ST=Victoria", or some such, converting it into an ordered set of name attributes.

public X509Principal (boolean reverse, String dirName)

Takes an X509 dir name as a string of the format "C=AU,ST=Victoria", or some such, converting it into an ordered set of name attributes. If reverse is false the dir name will be encoded in the order of the (name, value) pairs presented, otherwise the encoding will start with the last (name, value) pair and work back.

public X509Principal (boolean reverse, Hashtable lookUp, String dirName)

Takes an X509 dir name as a string of the format "C=AU, ST=Victoria", or some such, converting it into an ordered set of name attributes. lookUp should provide a table of lookups, indexed by lowercase only strings and yielding a DERObjectIdentifier, other than that OID. and numeric oids will be processed automatically.

If reverse is true, create the encoded version of the sequence starting from the last element in the string.
