    Description

      Currently in the documentation it says that

      For internal authentication, members of sharded clusters and replica sets can use x.509 certificates instead of keyfiles, which use MONGODB-CR authentication mechanism.

      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/security-x.509/#member-x-509-certificates

      This is no longer the case as of 3.0. This paragraph should be changed to:

      For internal authentication, members of sharded clusters and replica sets can use x.509 certificates instead of keyfiles, which use the SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication mechanism.

      It might be important to add a note that this is not the case below 3.0.
