Imports

java.io.IOException, java.security.cert.CRLException, .CertificateEncodingException, .X509CRL, .X509Certificate, org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive, org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.TBSCertList, .TBSCertificateStructure, .X509Name

a utility class that will extract X509Principal objects from X.509 certificates.

Use this in preference to trying to recreate a principal from a String, not all DNs are what they should be, so it's best to leave them encoded where they can be.
