Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the code that parses or validates DirectoryString values in X.509 Issuer and Subject distinguished names, then inspect existing related tests. Done means empty DirectoryString values are rejected and a regression test covers the RFC 5280 minimum length of 1.
