 Description   

Currently in the documentation it says that

For internal authentication, members of sharded clusters and replica sets can use x.509 certificates instead of keyfiles, which use MONGODB-CR authentication mechanism.

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/security-x.509/#member-x-509-certificates

This is no longer the case as of 3.0. This paragraph should be changed to:

For internal authentication, members of sharded clusters and replica sets can use x.509 certificates instead of keyfiles, which use the SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication mechanism.

It might be important to add a note that this is not the case below 3.0.

tony.sansone - that further investigation should be captured in an additional ticket and is out of scope for the work defined in this specific ticket. Please create the investigation ticket and put it into the backlog for prioritization.
THANKS!!
