Constructor Detail

GeneralName

public GeneralName(X509Name dirName)

Deprecated. use X500Name constructor.

Parameters:

dirName -

GeneralName

public GeneralName(X500Name dirName)

GeneralName

public GeneralName(int tag,
                   ASN1Encodable name)

When the subjectAltName extension contains an Internet mail address, the address MUST be included as an rfc822Name. The format of an rfc822Name is an "addr-spec" as defined in RFC 822 [RFC 822]. When the subjectAltName extension contains a domain name service label, the domain name MUST be stored in the dNSName (an IA5String). The name MUST be in the "preferred name syntax," as specified by RFC 1034 [RFC 1034]. When the subjectAltName extension contains a URI, the name MUST be stored in the uniformResourceIdentifier (an IA5String). The name MUST be a non-relative URL, and MUST follow the URL syntax and encoding rules specified in [RFC 1738]. The name must include both a scheme (e.g., "http" or "ftp") and a scheme-specific-part. The scheme- specific-part must include a fully qualified domain name or IP address as the host. When the subjectAltName extension contains a iPAddress, the address MUST be stored in the octet string in "network byte order," as specified in RFC 791 [RFC 791]. The least significant bit (LSB) of each octet is the LSB of the corresponding byte in the network address. For IP Version 4, as specified in RFC 791, the octet string MUST contain exactly four octets. For IP Version 6, as specified in RFC 1883, the octet string MUST contain exactly sixteen octets [RFC 1883].

GeneralName

public GeneralName(int tag,
                   java.lang.String name)

Create a GeneralName for the given tag from the passed in String.

This constructor can handle: rfc822Name iPAddress directoryName dNSName uniformResourceIdentifier registeredID

For x400Address, otherName and ediPartyName there is no common string format defined.

Note: A directory name can be encoded in different ways into a byte representation. Be aware of this if the byte representation is used for comparing results.

Parameters:

tag - tag number

name - string representation of name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the string encoding is not correct or * not supported.
