RDN(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation RDN(3)NAMEX500::RDN - handle X.500 RDNs (Relative Distinguished Names), parse and
format them
SYNOPSIS
use X500::RDN;
my $rdn = new X500::RDN ('c'=>'DE');
my $c = $rdn->getAttributeValue ('c');
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.
