This class represents an X.500 Principal. X500Principals are represented by distinguished names such as "CN=Duke, OU=JavaSoft, O=Sun Microsystems, C=US".
This class can be instantiated by using a string representation of the distinguished name, or by using the ASN.1 DER encoded byte representation of the distinguished name. The current specification for the string representation of a distinguished name is defined in RFC 2253: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3): UTF-8 String Representation of Distinguished Names. This class, however, accepts string formats from both RFC 2253 and RFC 1779: A String Representation of Distinguished Names, and also recognizes attribute type keywords whose OIDs (Object Identifiers) are defined in RFC 3280: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile.
The string representation for this X500Principal can be obtained by calling the getName methods.
Note that the getSubjectX500Principal and getIssuerX500Principal methods of X509Certificate return X500Principals representing the issuer and subject fields of the certificate.

(->x-500-principal name)
(->x-500-principal name keyword-map)
Constructor.
Creates an X500Principal from a string representation of an X.500 distinguished name (ex: "CN=Duke, OU=JavaSoft, O=Sun Microsystems, C=US"). The distinguished name must be specified using the grammar defined in RFC 1779 or RFC 2253 (either format is acceptable).
This constructor recognizes the attribute type keywords specified in X500Principal(String) and also recognizes additional keywords that have entries in the keywordMap parameter. Keyword entries in the keywordMap take precedence over the default keywords recognized by X500Principal(String). Keywords MUST be specified in all upper-case, otherwise they will be ignored. Improperly specified keywords are ignored; however if a keyword in the name maps to an improperly specified Object Identifier (OID), an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. It is permissible to have 2 different keywords that map to the same OID.
This implementation enforces a more restrictive OID syntax than defined in RFC 1779 and 2253. It uses the more correct syntax defined in RFC 4512, which specifies that OIDs contain at least 2 digits:
numericoid = number 1*( DOT number )
name - an X.500 distinguished name in RFC 1779 or RFC 2253 format - java.lang.String
keyword-map - an attribute type keyword map, where each key is a keyword String that maps to a corresponding object identifier in String form (a sequence of nonnegative integers separated by periods). The map may be empty but never null. - java.util.Map
throws: java.lang.NullPointerException - if name or keywordMap is null

(equals this o)
Compares the specified Object with this X500Principal for equality.
Specifically, this method returns true if the Object o is an X500Principal and if the respective canonical string representations (obtained via the getName(X500Principal.CANONICAL) method) of this object and o are equal.
This implementation is compliant with the requirements of RFC 3280.
o - Object to be compared for equality with this X500Principal - java.lang.Object
returns: true if the specified Object is equal
to this X500Principal, false otherwise - boolean
Compares the specified Object with this X500Principal for equality. Specifically, this method returns true if the Object o is an X500Principal and if the respective canonical string representations (obtained via the getName(X500Principal.CANONICAL) method) of this object and o are equal. This implementation is compliant with the requirements of RFC 3280. o - Object to be compared for equality with this X500Principal - `java.lang.Object` returns: true if the specified Object is equal to this X500Principal, false otherwise - `boolean`
(get-encoded this)
Returns the distinguished name in ASN.1 DER encoded form. The ASN.1 notation for this structure is supplied in the documentation for X500Principal(byte[] name).
Note that the byte array returned is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications.
returns: a byte array containing the distinguished name in ASN.1 DER
encoded form - byte[]
Returns the distinguished name in ASN.1 DER encoded form. The ASN.1 notation for this structure is supplied in the documentation for X500Principal(byte[] name). Note that the byte array returned is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications. returns: a byte array containing the distinguished name in ASN.1 DER encoded form - `byte[]`
(get-name this)
(get-name this format)
(get-name this format oid-map)
Returns a string representation of the X.500 distinguished name using the specified format. Valid values for the format are "RFC1779" and "RFC2253" (case insensitive). "CANONICAL" is not permitted and an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
This method returns Strings in the format as specified in getName(String) and also emits additional attribute type keywords for OIDs that have entries in the oidMap parameter. OID entries in the oidMap take precedence over the default OIDs recognized by getName(String). Improperly specified OIDs are ignored; however if an OID in the name maps to an improperly specified keyword, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
Additional standard formats may be introduced in the future.
Warning: additional attribute type keywords may not be recognized by other implementations; therefore do not use this method if you are unsure if these keywords will be recognized by other implementations.
