How to configure ssl on mongodb server?

To configure SSL on a MongoDB server, follow these steps:

1. Generate server certificates: Create server certificate and key files using OpenSSL or a similar tool. Make sure to keep these files secure.
2. Configure MongoDB for SSL: Open the MongoDB configuration file (typically mongod.conf) and add the following lines to enable SSL:

1

3

net:
  ssl:
    mode: requireSSL
    PEMKeyFile: /path/to/server.pem
    PEMKeyPassword: password

Replace /path/to/server.pem with the path to your server certificate and key files, and replace password with the password used to protect the private key.

1. Restart MongoDB: Restart the MongoDB server to apply the changes in the configuration file.
2. Verify SSL configuration: Connect to the MongoDB server using the mongo shell with SSL enabled and verify that the connection is encrypted. You can do this by connecting with the --ssl option:

1

mongo --ssl --host your-mongodb-server

If the connection is successful, SSL is configured correctly on your MongoDB server.

Remember to regularly update your SSL certificates and keys to ensure the security of your MongoDB server.
