SSL support is not so easy to set up if you are on Suse Linux Enterprise. There is basically no support for it. And for some reason it doesn't work for me.
But the thing I don't understand is, if people use replicasets, how comes they're not using encryption? It would be easy to sniff data off the instances. But yet, when I search on stackoverflow/serverfault, there are close to no people using SSL with Mongo.

- aledalgrande 14y agoBy non-web you mean a network not accessible from Internet right? I wonder if I should drop SSL as well... not much of a gain from it, as the DB layer is in fact configured as you said.
