            <title>[DOCS-11993] --sslCAFile is only required if you want to use client certificates</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCS-11993</link>
                <project id="10380" key="DOCS">Documentation</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;----------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;OriginalDescription&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Original Description&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve had to answer a few HELP tickets and mongodb-user emails about setting up TLS on mongod without using client certificates - e.g. you just want TLS like it works on the internet. If the &lt;tt&gt;-&lt;del&gt;sslPEMKeyFile&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; contains the full certificate chain, you shouldn&apos;t have to specify &lt;tt&gt;&lt;del&gt;sslCAFile&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; at all, mongod will load all the certificates in the file and build the CA chain that way. In fact, &lt;tt&gt;&lt;del&gt;sslCAFile&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; really means, &quot;use this CA file to validate client connections&quot;. For simple deployments with normal TLS certificates issued by a commercial trusted CA, you shouldn&apos;t have to specify &lt;tt&gt;-sslCAFile&lt;/tt&gt; anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For an example of where this gets confusing, you can see this user group posting: &lt;a href=&quot;https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/mongodb-user/648dde1f-79ef-4056-85a4-7eaa2fcf8178%40googlegroups.com&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/mongodb-user/648dde1f-79ef-4056-85a4-7eaa2fcf8178%40googlegroups.com&lt;/a&gt; or HELP-7377&lt;br/&gt;
 ----------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;Description&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Description&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Clarify the behavior and purpose of the &lt;tt&gt;--sslCAFile&lt;/tt&gt;&#160;parameter of &lt;tt&gt;mongo&lt;/tt&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongo/#cmdoption-mongo-sslcafile]&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;[Link to --sslCAFile Definition&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Currently we note that the parameter points to the root CA certificate chain, but we don&apos;t describe the purpose/use case of the parameter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We should:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Add a description of what &lt;tt&gt;--sslCAFile&lt;/tt&gt; should be used for
	&lt;ul&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&quot;use this CA file to validate client connections&quot;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Note that &lt;tt&gt;--sslCAFile&lt;/tt&gt;&#160;is only required if you want to use client certificates&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Note that &lt;tt&gt;--sslCAFile&lt;/tt&gt;&#160;is only required if the full CA certificate chain is not included in the file specified by &lt;tt&gt;-sslPEMKeyFile&lt;/tt&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
