MD8X-00-014000 - MongoDB must include only approved trust anchors in trust stores or certificate stores managed by the organization.
Information
Public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates are certificates with visibility external to organizational systems and certificates related to the internal operations of systems, such as application-specific time services. In cryptographic systems with a hierarchical structure, a trust anchor is an authoritative source (i.e., a certificate authority) for which trust is assumed and not derived. A root certificate for a PKI system is an example of a trust anchor. A trust store or certificate store maintains a list of trusted root certificates.Solution
Edit the MongoDB configuration file (default location /etc/mongod.conf) and add a key named "net.tls.CAFile" to configure the certificate trust.Example shown below:
net:
tls:
mode: requireTLS
certificateKeyFile: /etc/ssl/mongodb.pem
CAFile: /etc/ssl/caToValidateClientCertificates.pem
ocsp:
enabled: true
responderURL: <your organization's OCSP responder URL>
