- dm_mongodb 14y agoSSL support is in the free distribution but you must built it yourself. One reason would be export controls; another is that creates a dependency on the SSL library for those who don't use SSL, which we found awkward (especially if doing all platforms; the subscriber build just does the popular ones). So it's available; albeit there is an intent to have a subscriber build with some extra features that are heavily enterprise biased in their usefulness.
