At work I encountered a bug where the Common Name and the GUN differ only in their capitalization:
DEBU[0001] error leaf certificate CN: example.com/repository/LPF doesn't match the given GUN: example.com/repository/lpfIt turns out that capitalization shouldn't matter for CN and SANs in x509 certificates: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/150776
Therefore, I am proposing that Notary compares the two strings in a case-insensitive manner.
