Class LDAPStoreHelper

    java.lang.Object
      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
