Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

This class implements the
java.security.Principal interface for entities
represented by X.500 distinguished names (such as
"CN=David,O=davidflanagan.com,C=US").
The constructor methods can accept the distinguished name in string
form or in binary encoded form. getName( ) returns
the name in string form, using the format defined by one of the three
consant values. The no-argument version of getName(
) (the one defined by the Principal
interface) returns the distinguished name formatted as specified by
RFC 2253. Finally, getEncoded( ) returns a
binary-encoded form of the name.
