Use Case

As a mongosh user who wants to be able to use it in FIPS mode, I want to get a good error message when I cannot use SCRAM-SHA-1 because of that, so that I know that SCRAM-SHA-1 will not be available in general. In particular, it might not be obvious that SCRAM-SHA-1 is unavailable in FIPS, because SHA-1 itself is a FIPS-compliant algorithm.

User Impact

This impacts only few users, but the current message is not quite as helpful as it could be.

Dependencies

This is for MONGOSH-1169.

Unknowns

None.

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

None.

Testing Requirements

None, because the Node.js driver CI doesn’t include a FIPS setup. MONGOSH-1232 will add tests, however.

Documentation Requirements

None.

Follow Up Requirements

None.
