How to connect to MongoDB with SSL?

Connect to MongoDB Instance Using Encryption ( tls Options) For procedures using their ssl aliases, see mongosh Configuration (Using ssl Options). To connect to a mongod or mongos instance that requires encrypted communication, start mongosh with: –tls. –host and –tlsCAFile to validate the server certificate.

Does MongoDB use TLS?

MongoDB supports TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer) to encrypt all of MongoDB’s network traffic. TLS/SSL ensures that MongoDB network traffic is only readable by the intended client.

How do I convert SSL to TLS?

Why does MongoDB support TLS and SSL?

TLS/SSL¶. MongoDB supports TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer) to encrypt all of MongoDB’s network traffic. TLS/SSL ensures that MongoDB network traffic is only readable by the intended client. Starting in version 4.0, MongoDB disables support for TLS 1.0 encryption on systems where TLS 1.1+ is available.

What kind of encryption is used in MongoDB?

Starting in version 4.0, MongoDB uses the native TLS/SSL OS libraries: MongoDB’s TLS/SSL encryption only allows use of strong TLS/SSL ciphers with a minimum of 128-bit key length for all connections.

What kind of certificate do I need for MongoDB?

When establishing a TLS/SSL connection, the mongod/mongos presents a certificate key file (containing a public key certificate and its associated private key) to its clients to establish its identity. [1] MongoDB can use any valid TLS/SSL certificate issued by a certificate authority, or a self-signed certificate.

How does mongosh validate a SSL certificate?

For a complete list of ssl options, see SSL Options. For TLS/SSL connections, mongosh validates the certificate presented by the mongod or mongos instance: mongosh verifies that the certificate is from the specified Certificate Authority –sslCAFile. If the certificate is not from the specified CA, mongosh will fail to connect.
