importCert

void importCert(byte[] certBytes)
         throws EBaseException

"import" the CA cert cross-signed by another CA (potentially a bridge CA) into internal ldap db. If publishing is turned on, and if matches up a pair, then publish to publishing directory otherwise, leave in internal ldap db and wait for it's matching pair

Parameters:

certBytes - binary byte array of the cert

Throws:

EBaseException - when certBytes conversion to X509 certificate fails

publishCertPairs

void publishCertPairs()
               throws EBaseException

publish all cert pairs, if publisher is on

Throws:

EBaseException - when publishing fails

byteArray2X509Cert

java.security.cert.X509Certificate byteArray2X509Cert(byte[] certBytes)
                                               throws java.security.cert.CertificateException

convert byte array to X509Certificate

Returns:

X509Certificate the X509Certificate class representation of the certificate byte array

Throws:

java.security.cert.CertificateException - when conversion fails
