Class SvceAuthInfo

java.lang.Object

iaik.asn1.structures.AttributeValue

iaik.x509.attr.attributes.SvceAuthInfo

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Type

Direct Known Subclasses:

AccessIdentity, ServiceAuthenticationInfo

public abstract class SvceAuthInfo
extends AttributeValue

This class implements the SvceAuthInfo type specified by the PKIX X.509 Attribute Certificate profile ( RFC 5755) to be used as base type for the ServiceAuthenticationInformation and AccessIdentity attribute types.

The ASN.1 definition for the SvceAuthInfo type is as follows (see RFC 5755):

 SvceAuthInfo ::=    SEQUENCE {
      service   GeneralName,
      ident     GeneralName,
      authInfo  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
 }
 

Attributes (ServiceAuthenticationInformation and AccessIdentity) that are based on the SvceAuthInfo syntax are used to identify the AC holder to a server/service.

See Also:

ServiceAuthenticationInfo, AccessIdentity, AttributeCertificate, Attribute, GeneralName, OCTET_STRING

Constructor Detail

SvceAuthInfo

protected SvceAuthInfo()

Empty default constructor. Required for dynamic object creation. An application shall not use this constructor.

SvceAuthInfo

protected SvceAuthInfo(GeneralName service,
                       GeneralName ident)

Creates a SvceAuthInfo from given service and ident name.

Parameters:

service - the name of the service to which the AC holder shall be identified

ident - the name to be used for identitying the AC holder to the service

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if null is specified as service or ident

SvceAuthInfo

protected SvceAuthInfo(ASN1Object obj)
                throws CodingException

Creates a SvceAuthInfo from its ASN.1 representation. This constructor parses the service, ident and authInfo (if present) fields from the given ASN.1 object (see RFC 5755):

 SvceAuthInfo ::=    SEQUENCE {
      service   GeneralName,
      ident     GeneralName,
      authInfo  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
 }
 

Parameters:

obj - the SvceAuthInfo as ASN1Object

Throws:

CodingException - if the ASN.1 object cannot be parsed or is invalid structured

Method Detail

getService

public GeneralName getService()

Gets the service name of this SvceAuthInfo.

Returns:

the name of the service to which to identify the AC holder

getIdent

public GeneralName getIdent()

Gets the ident name of this SvceAuthInfo.

Returns:

the name with which to which to identify the AC holder

decode

public void decode(ASN1Object obj)
            throws CodingException

Decodes an SvceAuthInfo from its ASN.1 representation. parses the service, ident and authInfo (if present) fields from the given ASN.1 object (see RFC 5755):

 SvceAuthInfo ::=    SEQUENCE {
      service   GeneralName,
      ident     GeneralName,
      authInfo  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
 }
 

Parameters:

obj - the SvceAuthInfo as ASN1Object

Throws:

CodingException - if the ASN.1 object cannot be parsed or is invalid structured

toASN1Object

public ASN1Object toASN1Object()
                        throws CodingException

Returns this SvceAuthInfo as ASN1Object.
The ASN.1 definition for the SvceAuthInfo type is as follows (see RFC 5755):

 SvceAuthInfo ::=    SEQUENCE {
      service   GeneralName,
      ident     GeneralName,
      authInfo  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
 }
 

Returns:

this SvceAuthInfo as ASN1Object

Throws:

CodingException - if an error occurs when creating the ASN1Object

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of this SvceAuthInfo object.

Specified by:

toString in class AttributeValue

Returns:

the String representation
