None of the parts are case-sensitive and non of them are
case-insensitive. You have to use different string-prep profiles to
check if two are the same.
Therefore to hash them you first have to normalize them using stringprep
with the nodeprep profile for the user part, the nameprep profile for
the domain part and the resourceprep profile for the resource part.
