CertificateIssuerExtension

Class Overview

Represents the CRL Certificate Issuer Extension (OID = 2.5.29.29).

The CRL certificate issuer extension identifies the certificate issuer associated with an entry in an indirect CRL, i.e. a CRL that has the indirectCRL indicator set in its issuing distribution point extension. If this extension is not present on the first entry in an indirect CRL, the certificate issuer defaults to the CRL issuer. On subsequent entries in an indirect CRL, if this extension is not present, the certificate issuer for the entry is the same as that for the preceding entry.

If used by conforming CRL issuers, this extension is always critical. If an implementation ignored this extension it could not correctly attribute CRL entries to certificates. PKIX (RFC 3280) RECOMMENDS that implementations recognize this extension.

The ASN.1 definition for this is:

 id-ce-certificateIssuer   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ce 29 }

 certificateIssuer ::=     GeneralNames

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class sun.security.x509.Extension void encode(DerOutputStream out) Write the extension to the DerOutputStream. boolean equals(Object other) Compares this Extension for equality with the specified object. ObjectIdentifier getExtensionId() Returns the ObjectIdentifier of the extension. byte[] getExtensionValue() Returns the extension value as an byte array for further processing. int hashCode() Returns a hashcode value for this Extension. boolean isCritical() Returns true if extension is critical. String toString() Returns the Extension in user readable form.
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
From interface sun.security.x509.CertAttrSet abstract void delete(String name) Deletes an attribute value from this CertAttrSet. abstract void encode(OutputStream out) Encodes the attribute to the output stream in a format that can be parsed by the decode method. abstract Object get(String name) Gets an attribute value for this CertAttrSet. abstract Enumeration<T> getElements() Returns an enumeration of the names of the attributes existing within this attribute. abstract String getName() Returns the name (identifier) of this CertAttrSet. abstract void set(String name, Object obj) Sets an attribute value within this CertAttrSet. abstract String toString() Returns a short string describing this certificate attribute.
