NAME
X500::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
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. Returns whether the RDN is multi-valued. Returns the RDN's attribute types, a list of strings. Returns the RDN attribute's value. Returns the RDN as a string formatted according to RFC 2253 syntax. 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!? Returns the RDN as a string formatted according to one of openssl's syntaxes. Croaks on multi-valued RDNs.
EXPORT
None.
