How to connect to MongoDB with TLS/SSL?

[jnsjunior]

Hello,

I want to connect to a MongoDB server that is secured by TLS/SSL.
How can i achieve this?
This is supported by RestHeart?

Ok, a found this.
https://restheart.org/docs/security/secure-connection-to-mongodb/

Beware that paragraph is more about securing RESTHeart under HTTPS, so it's the connection from an HTTP client to RESTHeart itself. If you mean to configure a new MongoDB instance to support TLS/SSL you might want to read this instead: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/configure-ssl/
Then it's just a matter of giving RESTHeart the right mongo-uri (see Configuration files section at https://restheart.org/docs/setup/#configuration-files)

Have also a look at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/#connection-string-options

Basically, there's nothing special to do in RESTHeart if you want to connect securely to MongoDB, if the database is properly configured to run under TLS|SSL, it is just a matter of using the right mongo-uri string.

If MongoDB uses a self signed certificate (or a certificate issued by an authority that isn't in the java cacerts), you need to import it into a keystore and pass it to RESTHeart.

This is explained in the mentioned doc page in section Connect to MongoDB over TLS
