public IssuerAttributeField(boolean required,
                    RDNAttributeIdentifier rdnAttributeId)

Method Detail

getFieldName

public TBSFieldName getFieldName()

Gets the TBS field name of the attribute extracted from the certificate.

Returns:

The TBS field name of the attribute extracted from the certificate.

injectReferenceValue

public void injectReferenceValue(X509Certificate value)
                          throws PolicyProcessException

Injects the referenced value into the expressions. The relevant accessible attribute of the reference object can be retrieved by calling the LiteralPolicyExpression.getPolicyValue() method.

Parameters:

value - The reference value.

Throws:

PolicyProcessException - Thrown if the reference value cannot be successfully processed or the relevant accessible attribute cannot be retrieved from the value. For example, the X509 reference expressions may require an X509 attribute to be present in a certificate. If the required certificate attribute is not present, the this exception would be thrown.

getRDNAttributeFieldId

public RDNAttributeIdentifier getRDNAttributeFieldId()

Gets the requested RDN attribute id.

Returns:

The requested RDN attribute id.
