 Description   

----------------------------

Original Description

Starting in MongoDB 4.0, we now use the native crypto libraries available on the OS:

  • Linux and *BSD: OpenSSL 
  • Windows: SecureChannel 
  • macOS X: SecureTransport

There also appear to be a number of places in the 4.0 manual where we call out OpenSSL specifically as the transport security implementation MongoDB uses–these should also be adjusted slightly for accuracy. I can move this part to a dedicated ticket if preferred. 
----------------------------

Description

Scope of changes (files that need work and how much)

  • release-notes/4.0
  • administration/security-checklist
  • core/security-encryption
  • core/security-transport-encryption
  • opensslCipherConfig parameter – only if using openssl

Impact to other docs outside of this product

MVP (work and date?)
