 When we think of traditional DNs in a traditional format, for say, Active Directory or LDAP, we think of something similar to:
 
-  CN=Lola Jacobson,CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=com
+  `CN=Lola Jacobson,CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=com`
 
 However, for a data source such as SQL, which is flat, not hierarchical, the DN needs to be either already present in one of the table or created from the information we provide to the ECMA Connector Host.
