Type Reason Java.Lang.IllegalArgumentException if the format argument is not one of the three mentioned above
Returns a string representation of the distinguished name contained in this X.500 principal. The format of the representation can be chosen. Valid arguments are X500Principal.Rfc1779, X500Principal.Rfc2253, and X500Principal.Canonical. The representations are specified in RFC 1779 and RFC 2253, respectively. The canonical form is based on RFC 2253, but adds some canonicalizing operations like removing leading and trailing whitespace, lower-casing the whole name, and bringing it into a normalized Unicode representation.
