Allow greater flexibility in Certificate Name Filters

The Certificate Name Filters available under RACF today are very rigid in their matching process. As a short-hand, essentially one can consider the name filter as an exact search string match that the certificate subject must contain exactly.

This means that one cannot use a wildcard or omit a field in the middle of this search string.

Providing greater flexibility to either wildcard or ignoring certain fields of the subject of a certificate would aid in reducing outages when a partner changes their certificate pattern without notifying the administrators of the ESM.
