org.bouncycastle.x509.util.LDAPStoreHelper

public class LDAPStoreHelper
extends java.lang.Object

This is a general purpose implementation to get X.509 certificates, CRLs, attribute certificates and cross certificates from a LDAP location.

At first a search is performed in the ldap*AttributeNames of the X509LDAPCertStoreParameters with the given information of the subject (for all kind of certificates) or issuer (for CRLs), respectively, if a X509CertStoreSelector or X509AttributeCertificate is given with that details.

For the used schemes see: RFC 2587 Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Additional LDAP Schema for PKIs and PMIs
