Fix Recommendation

Stop the MongoDB instance if it is running. Obtain a certificate from a valid DoD certificate authority to be used for encrypted data transmission. Modify the MongoDB configuration file with ssl configuration options such as:

net:
ssl:
mode: requireSSL
PEMKeyFile: /etc/ssl/mongodb.pem

Set "net.ssl.mode" to the "requireSSL".
Set "net.ssl.KeyFile" to the full path of the certificate (.pem) file.

Start/stop (restart) all mongod or mongos instances using the MongoDB configuration file (default location: /etc/mongod.conf).

Check Contents

Review the system information/specification for information indicating a strict requirement for data integrity and confidentiality when data is being prepared to be transmitted.

If such information is absent therein, this is not a finding.

If such information is present, inspect the MongoDB configuration file (default location: /etc/mongod.conf) for the following entries:

net:
ssl:
mode: requireSSL
PEMKeyFile: /etc/ssl/mongodb.pem

If net.ssl.mode is not set to "requireSSL", this is a finding.
