 Description   

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/configure-encryption/

For the "Encrypt Using an Existing Key" part, it emphasizes that "If data is already encrypted with a key, you must specify that key’s <UID> for the --kmipKeyIdentifier option. Otherwise, MongoDB will not start and log an error."

This is not the case at least with 3.2.8. Mongod already keeps track of the UID it's using and I don't have to pass the --kmipKeyIdentifier option when it's restarted.

spencer.jackson Huzzah, thanks!

allison.moore, yes, things seem to have changed. I think it's fine to remove the box.

Comment by Allison Reinheimer Moore [ 26/Jul/17 ]

spencer.jackson Can you weigh in on this one? We seem to have added the "Important" box during the 3.1.6 release notes, so it's very possible things changed. I don't want to delete the box entirely if there's a nuance that we're missing though, and testing it out myself seems quite ambitious.
