Class X500Name

java.lang.Object
oracle.security.crypto.cert.Entity
oracle.security.crypto.cert.X500Name

All Implemented Interfaces:

oracle.security.crypto.asn1.ASN1Object, java.io.Externalizable, java.io.Serializable, oracle.security.crypto.util.Streamable

public class X500Name

extends Entity

implements oracle.security.crypto.asn1.ASN1Object, java.io.Externalizable

This class represents distinguished names as used in the X.500 series of specifications, defined in X.520.

A X500Name is an Entity with support for some additional X.500 attributes. In addition to common name (which is the same as the entity name), the following attributes are supported using the old API methods: country, organization, organizational-unit, locality, state or province, and email. Using the new API methods, these as well as any other standard or custom attributes can be supported.

NB: It is an error to mix calls to methods used for definining attributes from both the old and new APIs.

This class implements hashCode and equals methods, and so may be used for keys in a hashtable.

Warning: The serialization capability of this class should only be used for short-term storage and RMI between applications running the same version of this product. It should not be relied on for long-term perisistence, as future versions of this class may use an incompatible serialization format. For now, applications requiring long-term persistence should use the ASN.1 encodings provided by the input(InputStream) and output(OutputStream) methods directly, instead of serialization.

Constructor Detail

X500Name

public X500Name()

Creates a new, empty X.500 name (one with no attributes).

X500Name

public X500Name(java.lang.String str)

Parse an X.500 name from a string (e.g., one produced by toString). The following notation is used: attr=value, attr=value, ... There shall be no space around the equal sign or before the comma. A comma in the value may be escaped using a backslash. The attribute names are case-insensitive. The following attribute names are supported: C, ST, L, O, OU, CN, EMAIL.

toString(), equals(java.lang.Object)

X500Name

public X500Name(java.io.InputStream is)
         throws java.io.IOException

Method Detail

addComponent

public void addComponent(X500RDN rdn)

Add the specified X500RDN to this X500Name as a new component.

addComponent

public void addComponent(oracle.security.crypto.asn1.ASN1ObjectID type,
                         oracle.security.crypto.asn1.ASN1String value)

Add the specified type-and-value pair to this X500Name as a new component.

See Also:

for defined OIDs from the id_at arc.

addComponent

public void addComponent(oracle.security.crypto.asn1.ASN1ObjectID type,
                         java.lang.String value)

Add the specified type-and-value pair to this X500Name as a new component.

The string value will be converted to an ASN1String of the appropriate type (IA5String, UTF8String, PrintableString) depending on the character composition of the value.
