 Description   

Using x.509 for cluster authentication is tricky, and is not a prerequisite to using it for client authentication.

It seems like our examples for using x.509 for client authentication should not include the --clusterAuthMode parameter. This is placing an unnecessary and orthogonal burden on the user trying to follow the example.

I was reading Use x.509 Certificates to Authenticate Clients and found the section Configure Replica Set/Sharded Cluster was misleading. The clusterAuthMode: x509 is for member authentication not for client authentication.
