Class Dn


  • public class Dn
    extends Object
    Distinguished name containing zero or more relative distinguished names. RDNs are ordered from left to right such that the left-most RDN is considered the first. For the DN 'cn=Jane Doe,ou=People,dc=ldaptive,dc=org', the first RDN is 'cn=Jane Doe'. See RFC 4514 for more details on the string representations of DNs.
