I'm confused about how that gets parsed, what differentiates the ,s
that separate the arguments (e.g. ,id=  ,identity=) and the ,s that
separate the options within the identity string (e.g. the ,ST=London)
Would:
  --object authz-simple,identity=CN=laptop.example.com,,O=Example 
Org,,L=London,,ST=London,,C=GB,id=auth0

be equivalent?
