Something like:
```
RFC5280 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-7.1) requires that the LDAP StringPrep profile and caseIgnoreMatch must be used for this comparison. We do not use that but instead we do a simpler comparison that ignores the tags used such as `UTF8String` and `PrintableString`.
```
