HBAC rule evaluation currently uses strcmp() function for string comparison. This is case sensitive and too limiting for UTF-8 encoded strings. Some of elements of the rule should be treated case insensitive during comparison.

A combination of case insensitive and UTF-8 means there is no way to use strcasecmp() as a replacement for strcmp(). HBAC evaluator should switch to a proper Unicode string handling. One option is to use libicu library which is already a requirement for IPA installation.
