# DN Parse

Valve for adding RDNs on current item, after parsing a DN string.

## Introduction

Use this valve to parse a DN string and add all RDNs as properties on the current item.

Optionally the values can be placed on the state object.

Which items to include in merge can be controlled with `"item_include_expr"`, see [Item](/pipes/valves/item.md). 

## Configuration

{% hint style="info" %}
**Valve name:** `DnParser`
{% endhint %}
