# caseExactOrderingMatch

Compares an assertion of Directory String syntax to a value whose syntax is the ASN.1 DirectoryString type, or one of the alternative types.

The rule evaluates to TRUE if and only if the prepared attribute value string is less than prepared assertion value string according to the code point collation order. For the comparison, characters are not case folded, and only insignificant white space handling is applied.
