Public methods

acceptableCountryWildcard

Added in API level 1
public static boolean acceptableCountryWildcard (String cn)

Parameters
cn String

Returns
boolean

countDots

Added in API level 1
public static int countDots (String s)

Counts the number of dots "." in a string.

Parameters
s String: string to count dots from

Returns
int number of dots

getCNs

Added in API level 1
public static String[] getCNs (X509Certificate cert)

Parameters
cert X509Certificate

Returns
String[]

getDNSSubjectAlts

Added in API level 1
public static String[] getDNSSubjectAlts (X509Certificate cert)

Extracts the array of SubjectAlt DNS names from an X509Certificate. Returns null if there aren't any.

Note: Java doesn't appear able to extract international characters from the SubjectAlts. It can only extract international characters from the CN field.

(Or maybe the version of OpenSSL I'm using to test isn't storing the international characters correctly in the SubjectAlts?).

Parameters
cert X509Certificate: X509Certificate

Returns
String[] Array of SubjectALT DNS names stored in the certificate.
