DESCRIPTION¶
This module handles X.500 RDNs (Relative Distinguished Names). This is a
supporting module for X500::DN.
Methods¶
- •
- $object = new X500::RDN ('type'=>'value',
'type'=>'value', ...);
Creates an RDN object from argument pairs, each pair an attribute type and
value. With more than one pair as arguments, you will get a multi-valued
RDN.
- •
- $object->isMultivalued();
Returns whether the RDN is multi-valued.
- •
- $object->getAttributeTypes();
Returns the RDN's attribute types, a list of strings.
- •
- $object->getAttributeValue (type);
Returns the RDN attribute's value.
- •
- $object->getRFC2253String();
Returns the RDN as a string formatted according to RFC 2253 syntax.
- •
- $object->getX500String();
Returns the RDN as a string formatted according to X.500 syntax. NOTE: This
is a hack, there is no definition for a X.500 string syntax!?
- •
- $object->getOpenSSLString();
Returns the RDN as a string formatted according to one of openssl's
syntaxes. Croaks on multi-valued RDNs.
EXPORT¶
None.
