 Description   

This section on mongo Shell SSL Configuration contains the warning: If the mongo shell or any other tool that connects to mongos or mongod is run without --sslCAFile, it will not attempt to validate server certificates.

But none of the following mongo examples show the --sslCAFile as part of the command line.

The warnings appear here in the tutorial and here in the reference.

The documentation should read something like:

  • Starting fro 3.0, you must use --sslCAFile unless you use --skipCertificateCheck.
  • If you don't use --sslCAFile be warned that ...
Comment by Eric Sommer [ 03/May/15 ]

Note that as per SERVER-1471 you must now specify either --sslCAFile or --skipCertificateCheck so the examples should reflect that.
