DNWithOctetString: 1.2.840.113556.1.4.903
        Encoded as a :
        DNWithOctetString  = OctetTag ':' Count ':' OctetString ':' DN
        OctetTag = 'B' | 'b'
        Count = positive decimal number, counting number of encoded characters
                in OctetString
        OctetString = [EncodedByte]*  // Note: the number of characters in the
                string encoding of the OctetString is Count.
        EncodedByte = [0-9 | a-f | A-F] [0-9 | a-f | A-F]
        DN = <normal string encoding of a DN>

        As an example, the string encoding of the combination of 0x74 0x65 0x73
        0x74 and DC=Microsoft,DC=Com is

        B:8:74657374:DC=Microsoft,DC=Com
