Class X509Principal

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.security.Principal, ASN1Encodable, Encodable
    public class X509Principal
extends X509Name
implements java.security.Principal
    Deprecated.
    use the X500Name class.

        public X509Principal​(java.util.Hashtable attributes)
        Deprecated.
        constructor from a table of attributes.

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

      • X509Principal

        public X509Principal​(java.util.Vector ordering,
                     java.util.Hashtable attributes)
        Deprecated.
        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.

      • X509Principal

        public X509Principal​(java.util.Vector oids,
                     java.util.Vector values)
        Deprecated.
        constructor from a vector of attribute values and a vector of OIDs.

      • X509Principal

        public X509Principal​(java.lang.String dirName)
        Deprecated.
        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.

      • X509Principal

        public X509Principal​(boolean reverse,
                     java.lang.String dirName)
        Deprecated.
        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.

      • X509Principal

        public X509Principal​(boolean reverse,
                     java.util.Hashtable lookUp,
                     java.lang.String dirName)
        Deprecated.
        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 ASN1ObjectIdentifier, 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.
