C# Class Novell.Directory.Ldap.Utilclass.DN

A DN encapsulates a Distinguished Name (an ldap name with context). A DN does not need to be fully distinguished, or extend to the Root of a directory. It provides methods to get information about the DN and to manipulate the DN. The following are examples of valid DN:

cn=admin,ou=marketing,o=corporation
cn=admin,ou=marketing
2.5.4.3=admin,ou=marketing
oid.2.5.4.3=admin,ou=marketing

Note: Multivalued attributes are all considered to be one component and are represented in one RDN (see RDN)

Public Methods

Method	Description
DN ( ) : System
DN ( System dnString ) : System	Constructs a new DN based on the specified string representation of a distinguished name. The syntax of the DN must conform to that specified in RFC 2253.
Equals ( DN toDN ) : bool
Equals ( System toDN ) : bool
ToString ( ) : System.String	Creates and returns a string that represents this DN. The string follows RFC 2253, which describes String representation of DN's and RDN's
addRDN ( RDN rdn ) : void	Adds the RDN to the beginning of the current DN.
addRDNToBack ( RDN rdn ) : void	Adds the RDN to the end of the current DN
addRDNToFront ( RDN rdn ) : void	Adds the RDN to the beginning of the current DN.
countRDNs ( ) : int	Retrieves the count of RDNs, or individule names, in the Distinguished name
explodeDN ( bool noTypes ) : System.String[]	return a string array of the individual RDNs contained in the DN
getrdnList ( ) : System.Collections.ArrayList	Compares this DN to the specified DN to determine if they are equal.
isDescendantOf ( DN containerDN ) : bool	Determines if this DN is contained by the DN passed in. For example: "cn=admin, ou=marketing, o=corporation" is contained by "o=corporation", "ou=marketing, o=corporation", and "ou=marketing" but not by "cn=admin" or "cn=admin,ou=marketing,o=corporation" Note: For users of Netscape's SDK this method is comparable to contains

Private Methods

Method	Description
InitBlock ( ) : void
hexToChar ( char hex1, char hex0 ) : char	Converts two valid hex digit characters that form the string representation of an ascii character value to the actual ascii character.
isAlpha ( char ch ) : bool	Checks a character to see if it is an ascii alphabetic character in ranges 65-90 or 97-122.
isDigit ( char ch ) : bool	Checks a character to see if it is an ascii digit (0-9) character in the ascii value range 48-57.
isHexDigit ( char ch ) : bool	Checks a character to see if it is valid hex digit 0-9, a-f, or A-F (ASCII value ranges 48-47, 65-70, 97-102).
needsEscape ( char ch ) : bool	Checks a character to see if it must always be escaped in the string representation of a DN. We must tests for space, sharp, and equals individually.

Method Details

DN() public method

public DN ( ) : System
return	System

DN() public method

Constructs a new DN based on the specified string representation of a distinguished name. The syntax of the DN must conform to that specified in RFC 2253.

IllegalArgumentException if the the value of the dnString /// parameter does not adhere to the syntax described in /// RFC 2253 ///

public DN ( System dnString ) : System
dnString	System	a string representation of the distinguished name ///
return	System

Equals() public method

public Equals ( DN toDN ) : bool
toDN	DN
return	bool

Equals() public method

public Equals ( System toDN ) : bool
toDN	System
return	bool

ToString() public method

Creates and returns a string that represents this DN. The string follows RFC 2253, which describes String representation of DN's and RDN's

public ToString ( ) : System.String
return	System.String

addRDN() public method

Adds the RDN to the beginning of the current DN.

public addRDN ( RDN rdn ) : void
rdn	RDN	an RDN to be added ///
return	void

addRDNToBack() public method

Adds the RDN to the end of the current DN

public addRDNToBack ( RDN rdn ) : void
rdn	RDN	an RDN to be added ///
return	void

addRDNToFront() public method

Adds the RDN to the beginning of the current DN.

public addRDNToFront ( RDN rdn ) : void
rdn	RDN	an RDN to be added ///
return	void

countRDNs() public method

Retrieves the count of RDNs, or individule names, in the Distinguished name

public countRDNs ( ) : int
return	int

explodeDN() public method

return a string array of the individual RDNs contained in the DN

public explodeDN ( bool noTypes ) : System.String[]
noTypes	bool	If true, returns only the values of the /// components, and not the names, e.g. "Babs /// Jensen", "Accounting", "Acme", "us" - instead of /// "cn=Babs Jensen", "ou=Accounting", "o=Acme", and /// "c=us". ///
return	System.String[]

getrdnList() public method

Compares this DN to the specified DN to determine if they are equal.

public getrdnList ( ) : System.Collections.ArrayList
return	System.Collections.ArrayList

isDescendantOf() public method

Determines if this DN is contained by the DN passed in. For example: "cn=admin, ou=marketing, o=corporation" is contained by "o=corporation", "ou=marketing, o=corporation", and "ou=marketing" but not by "cn=admin" or "cn=admin,ou=marketing,o=corporation" Note: For users of Netscape's SDK this method is comparable to contains

public isDescendantOf ( DN containerDN ) : bool
containerDN	DN	of a container ///
return	bool
