What is MongoDB 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.
Which OpenSSL versions are vulnerable to heartbleed?
Some operating system distributions that have shipped with potentially vulnerable OpenSSL version:
- Debian Wheezy (stable), OpenSSL 1.0. 1e-2+deb7u4.
- Ubuntu 12.04.
- CentOS 6.5, OpenSSL 1.0.
- Fedora 18, OpenSSL 1.0.
- OpenBSD 5.3 (OpenSSL 1.0.
- FreeBSD 10.0 – OpenSSL 1.0.
- NetBSD 5.0.
- OpenSUSE 12.2 (OpenSSL 1.0.
What kind of SSL encryption does MongoDB use?
MongoDB’s TLS/SSL encryption only allows the use of strong TLS/SSL ciphers with a minimum of 128-bit key length for all connections. The Linux 64-bit legacy x64 builds of MongoDB do not include support for TLS/SSL.
Which is the TLS settings for MongoDB cluster?
The tls settings/options provide identical functionality as the ssl options since MongoDB has always supported TLS 1.0 and later. For each node of a cluster, start the node with the command-line option –tlsMode or the configuration file option net.tls.mode set to allowTLS .
When to use–sslallowinvalidcertificates in MongoDB?
If the use of –sslAllowInvalidCertificates is necessary, only use the option on systems where intrusion is not possible. If mongosh (and other MongoDB Tools) runs with the –sslAllowInvalidCertificates option, mongosh (and other MongoDB Tools) will not attempt to validate the server certificates.
What is a mongod and Mongos certificate file?
mongod and mongos Certificate Key File ¶ When establishing a TLS/SSL connection, the mongod / mongos presents a certificate key file to its clients to establish its identity. [ 1] The certificate key file contains a public key certificate and its associated private key, but only the public component is revealed to the client.
