Class CertificateIssuer

java.lang.Object

com.entrust.toolkit.x509.extensions.CertificateIssuer

Deprecated.

As of JTK 6.0; Use the class iaik.x509.extenstions.CertificateIssuer

public class CertificateIssuer
extends V3Extension

This class implements the CertificateIssuer Extension.

This CRL entry extension identifies the certificate issuer associated with an entry in an indirect CRL, i.e. a CRL that has the indirectCRL indicator set in its issuing distribution point extension. If this extension is not present on the first entry in an indirect CRL, the certificate issuer defaults to the CRL issuer.

Indirect CRLs are not currently supported by the Toolkit, and this class is provided only to parse this extension when encountered in a foreign CRL structure.

The CertificateIssuer OID is "2.5.29.29".

The ASN.1 definition of the CertificateIssuer extension is specified as a GeneralNames. Please refer to the GeneralNames documentation for structure details.

Each generalName identifies the CA who issued the revoked certificate.

This class provides several methods for getting (but not setting) the component values of a CertificateIssuer extension object.
