public final class CertType
extends LDAPAttributeType

Represents a Certificate type.

Each certificate type is identified an LDAP directory attribute name. The LDAP directory attribute name identifies the attribute that should be used when searching for this type of Certificate in an LDAP directory. Currently, there are three known types, which have been defined in RFC 2587:

Certificate Attribute Types

 
  The following auxiliary object class MAY be used to represent
  certificate subjects:
  
  userCertificate    ATTRIBUTE  ::=  {
         WITH SYNTAX   Certificate
         EQUALITY MATCHING RULE   certificateExactMatch
      ID  joint-iso-ccitt(2) ds(5) attributeType(4) 
         userCertificate(36) }
         
  The following auxiliary object class MAY be used to represent
  Certification Authorities:
  
  cACertificate    ATTRIBUTE  ::=  {
         WITH SYNTAX   Certificate
         EQUALITY MATCHING RULE   certificateExactMatch
      ID  joint-iso-ccitt(2) ds(5) attributeType(4) 
         cACertificate(37) }
 
  crossCertificatePair   ATTRIBUTE::={
         WITH SYNTAX   CertificatePair
         EQUALITY MATCHING RULE certificatePairExactMatch
      ID joint-iso-ccitt(2) ds(5) attributeType(4) 
         crossCertificatePair(40)}
