SUMMARY
Gives the ability to specify whether to bypass client certificate validation for clients that do not present a certificate.
Documentation reference here.
There are also some README(s) typos fixes and formatting.
ISSUE TYPE
COMPONENT NAME
roles involved: mongod, mongos, config
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A new
mongodb_allow_connections_without_certificates
configuration variable is introduced.As per documentation: "In most cases, it is important to ensure that clients present valid certificates. However, if you have clients that cannot present a client certificate or are transitioning to using a certificate, you may only want to validate certificates from clients that present a certificate".
This fix would enable the above mentioned scenarios where the clients involved have different requirements or capabilities.
It defaults to
false
, so it is completely opt-in.
