class OpenSSL::X509::Name

An X.509 name represents a hostname, email address or other entity associated with a public key.

You can create a Name by parsing a distinguished name String or by supplying the distinguished name as an Array.

name = OpenSSL::X509::Name.parse 'CN=nobody/DC=example'

name = OpenSSL::X509::Name.new [['CN', 'nobody'], ['DC', 'example']]

X509::Name.new → name click to toggle source
X509::Name.new(der) → name
X509::Name.new(distinguished_name) → name
X509::Name.new(distinguished_name, template) → name

Creates a new Name.

A name may be created from a DER encoded string der, an Array representing a distinguished_name or a distinguished_name along with a template.

name = OpenSSL::X509::Name.new [['CN', 'nobody'], ['DC', 'example']]

name = OpenSSL::X509::Name.new name.to_der

See add_entry for a description of the distinguished_name Array's contents
