 MySQL requires client certificates on a per-user basis. The requirement can be configured using `CREATE USER` or `ALTER USER` statements. When set, MySQL will reject connections from these users if they don't present a valid certificate signed by your CA.
 
 ```sql
-mysql> CREATE USER 'myuser'@'myhost' REQUIRE SUBJECT 'CN={{ client_name }}';
-mysql> ALTER USER 'myuser'@'myhost' REQUIRE SUBJECT 'CN={{ client_name }}';
+mysql> CREATE USER 'myuser'@'myhost' REQUIRE SUBJECT '/CN={{ client_name }}';
+mysql> ALTER USER 'myuser'@'myhost' REQUIRE SUBJECT '/CN={{ client_name }}';
 ```
