Hi,
Can you please share the configuration settings when hunk is connected with the mongoDB having ssl .pem attachment file and authentication

Configuration settings for Authentication :

vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = CR
vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]
vix.mongodb.auth.password = [password as plain text]

is there any parameter.configuration setting for to attach the .pem file

MongoDB App allows to specify 4 types of authentication mechanism:
 1) #Authentication mechanism is X509  
vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = X509  
vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]   
2) #Authentication mechanism is Kerberos  
vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = Kerberos
 vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]   
3) #Authentication mechanism is CR  
vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = CR  
vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]  
vix.mongodb.auth.password = [password as plain text]
  4) #Authentication mechanism is Plain
 vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = Plain
 vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]
 vix.mongodb.auth.source = [source] The value for 'vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism' is case-insensitive.

I personally have not tried .pem, (I just tried it without authentication) but based on this link it looks like you are right:

vix.mongodb.auth.source is for source='source_database' Database, not for .pem file attachment is there any other solution for this ??
