// values because they are often too long than the 64 bytes allowed by
// CommonNames. We could attempt to encode more information into this to make
// identifying which instance/node it was issued to in a management tool easier
// but that just introduces more complications around length. It's also strange
// that the Common Name would encode more information than the actual
// identifying URI we use to assert anything does and my lead to bad assumptions
// that the common name is in some way "secure" or verified - there is nothing
// inherently provable here except that the requestor had ACLs for that service
// name in that DC.
