  +--org.bouncycastle.jce.PrincipalUtil

public class PrincipalUtil

extends java.lang.Object

a utility class that will extract X509Principal objects from X.509 certificates.

Use this in preference to trying to recreate a principal from a String, not all DNs are what they should be, so it's best to leave them encoded where they can be.
