Constructor Detail

X509Name

public X509Name(DERConstructedSequence seq)

Constructor from DERConstructedSequence. the principal will be a list of constructed sets, each containing an (OID, String) pair.

X509Name

public X509Name(java.util.Hashtable attributes)

constructor from a table of attributes.

it's is assumed the table contains OID/String pairs, and the contents of the table are copied into an internal table as part of the construction process.

Note: if the name you are trying to generate should be following a specific ordering, you should use the constructor with the ordering specified below.

X509Name

public X509Name(java.util.Vector ordering,
                java.util.Hashtable attributes)

constructor from a table of attributes with ordering.

it's is assumed the table contains OID/String pairs, and the contents of the table are copied into an internal table as part of the construction process. The ordering vector should contain the OIDs in the order they are meant to be encoded or printed in toString.

X509Name

public X509Name(java.util.Vector ordering,
                java.util.Vector values)

takes two vectors one of the oids and the other of the values.

X509Name

public X509Name(java.lang.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.
