Description
Epic Summary
Summary
Create a new authentication mechanism that allows clients possesing an identity provided by Amazon's Identity and Access Managment (IAM) to remotely prove their identity to a MongoDB server.
Motivation
Many smaller MongoDB customers have Amazon AWS, but do not have a central Identity Provider service such as Active Directory. An IAM authentication mechanism would allow these customers to leverage their existing authentication/authorization infrastructure with MongoDB.
