Property Value

Int32

the value for the basic constraints constraint

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

IllegalArgumentException

if pathLen is less than -2.

Remarks

Property getter documentation:

Returns the basic constraints constraint. If the value is greater than or equal to zero, the X509Certificates must include a basicConstraints extension with a pathLen of at least this value. If the value is -2, only end-entity certificates are accepted. If the value is -1, no basicConstraints check is done.

Java documentation for java.security.cert.X509CertSelector.getBasicConstraints().

Property setter documentation:

Sets the basic constraints constraint. If the value is greater than or equal to zero, X509Certificates must include a basicConstraints extension with a pathLen of at least this value. If the value is -2, only end-entity certificates are accepted. If the value is -1, no check is done.

This constraint is useful when building a certification path forward (from the target toward the trust anchor. If a partial path has been built, any candidate certificate must have a maxPathLen value greater than or equal to the number of certificates in the partial path.
