| Description |
|
We should explicitly warn users that when they create app certificates, they should use a different DC-OU-O combination than they used for server certificates. Since we are using the DC-OU-O part of the cert subject name to detect internal connections in the replica set, any user that has the same DC-OU-O combination in his certificate will be treated as the internal user (i.e. __system) and he will get wrong privileges. |
