Making test-case SSL certs for MongoDB client-server traffic encryption

by akira-kurogane 8 years ago

GNU/Linux ◆ rxvt-unicode-256color ◆ bash 2529 views

Shows the creation of a root certificate and self-signed server and client PEM files suitable for running a test demonstration of mongodb with SSL encryption of traffic between mongodb nodes and clients.

N.b. several variations in SSL configuration are possible with MongoDB but only one is shown in this terminal recording. E.g. Allowing connections with or without SSL simultaneously, or allowing connections without a client certificate, are NOT shown in this demo.
