X509CertSelector.AddSubjectAlternativeName Method

Definition

Namespace:

Java.Security.Cert

Assembly:

Mono.Android.dll

Overloads

AddSubjectAlternativeName(Int32, Byte[])	Adds a name to the subjectAlternativeNames criterion.
AddSubjectAlternativeName(Int32, String)	Adds a name to the subjectAlternativeNames criterion.

AddSubjectAlternativeName(Int32, Byte[])

Adds a name to the subjectAlternativeNames criterion.

[Android.Runtime.Register("addSubjectAlternativeName", "(I[B)V", "GetAddSubjectAlternativeName_IarrayBHandler")]
public virtual void AddSubjectAlternativeName (int type, byte[]? name);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("addSubjectAlternativeName", "(I[B)V", "GetAddSubjectAlternativeName_IarrayBHandler")>]
abstract member AddSubjectAlternativeName : int * byte[] -> unit
override this.AddSubjectAlternativeName : int * byte[] -> unit

Parameters

type

Int32

the name type (0-8, as listed above)

name

Byte[]

a byte array containing the name in ASN.1 DER encoded form

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

IOException

if the decoding of the name fails.

Remarks

Adds a name to the subjectAlternativeNames criterion. The X509Certificate must contain all or at least one of the specified subjectAlternativeNames, depending on the value of the matchAllNames flag (see #setMatchAllSubjectAltNames setMatchAllSubjectAltNames).

This method allows the caller to add a name to the set of subject alternative names. The specified name is added to any previous value for the subjectAlternativeNames criterion. If the specified name is a duplicate, it may be ignored.

The name is provided as a byte array. This byte array should contain the DER encoded name, as it would appear in the GeneralName structure defined in RFC 5280 and X.509. The encoded byte array should only contain the encoded value of the name, and should not include the tag associated with the name in the GeneralName structure. The ASN.1 definition of this structure appears below.

{@code
             GeneralName ::= CHOICE {
                  otherName                       [0]     OtherName,
                  rfc822Name                      [1]     IA5String,
                  dNSName                         [2]     IA5String,
                  x400Address                     [3]     ORAddress,
                  directoryName                   [4]     Name,
                  ediPartyName                    [5]     EDIPartyName,
                  uniformResourceIdentifier       [6]     IA5String,
                  iPAddress                       [7]     OCTET STRING,
                  registeredID                    [8]     OBJECT IDENTIFIER}
            }

AddSubjectAlternativeName(Int32, String)

Adds a name to the subjectAlternativeNames criterion.

[Android.Runtime.Register("addSubjectAlternativeName", "(ILjava/lang/String;)V", "GetAddSubjectAlternativeName_ILjava_lang_String_Handler")]
public virtual void AddSubjectAlternativeName (int type, string? name);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("addSubjectAlternativeName", "(ILjava/lang/String;)V", "GetAddSubjectAlternativeName_ILjava_lang_String_Handler")>]
abstract member AddSubjectAlternativeName : int * string -> unit
override this.AddSubjectAlternativeName : int * string -> unit

Parameters

type

Int32

the name type (0-8, as specified in RFC 5280, section 4.2.1.6)

name

String

the name in string form (not null)

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

IOException

if parsing the name fails.

Remarks

Adds a name to the subjectAlternativeNames criterion. The X509Certificate must contain all or at least one of the specified subjectAlternativeNames, depending on the value of the matchAllNames flag (see #setMatchAllSubjectAltNames setMatchAllSubjectAltNames).

This method allows the caller to add a name to the set of subject alternative names. The specified name is added to any previous value for the subjectAlternativeNames criterion. If the specified name is a duplicate, it may be ignored.

The name is provided in string format. RFC 822, DNS, and URI names use the well-established string formats for those types (subject to the restrictions included in RFC 5280). IPv4 address names are supplied using dotted quad notation. OID address names are represented as a series of nonnegative integers separated by periods. And directory names (distinguished names) are supplied in RFC 2253 format. No standard string format is defined for otherNames, X.400 names, EDI party names, IPv6 address names, or any other type of names. They should be specified using the #addSubjectAlternativeName(int type, byte [] name) addSubjectAlternativeName(int type, byte [] name) method.

<strong>Note:</strong> for distinguished names, use #addSubjectAlternativeName(int, byte[]) instead. This method should not be relied on as it can fail to match some certificates because of a loss of encoding information in the RFC 2253 String form of some distinguished names.
