pynetdicom.pdu_items.UserIdentitySubItemAC

class pynetdicom.pdu_items.UserIdentitySubItemAC

A User Identity (AC) Sub-item.

A User Identity (AC) Sub-item is used to response with the server identity to the association requestor.

Notes

A User Identity (RQ) Sub-item requires the following parameters:

• Item type (1, fixed, 0x59)

• Item length (1)

• Server response length (1)

• Server response (1)

Encoding

When encoded, a User Identity (AC) Sub-item has the following structure, taken from Tables D.3-15 of the DICOM Standard (offsets shown with Python indexing). Items are always encoded using Big Endian.

Offset	Length	Description
0	1	Item type
1	1	Reserved
2	2	Item length
4	2	Server response length
6	Variable	Server response
