I failed to explicitly state what the PK looked like.

  entity_id(entities.id) +
  identifier_type ('AKNA') +
  identifier_value(entities.common_name)

There will only be a PK collision when we attempt to add a duplicate
common name for the same entity, which means it already exists and
does not need to be added again.
