Disabling SSL/TLS on MongoDB

What’s the easiest way to turn off SSL security requirement AFTER intalling the DL9 repository with SSL security on? Is it a registry key? Or a Mongo command?

ECHO

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in replying. The easiest way is to disable it in the Mongo config file and then restart the Mongod process. The line to change is right below ‘ssl:’ and should say ‘mode: disabled’ in order to disable SSL.

Thanks Dwight!

We highly recommend having TLS enabled for your database to keep your data as secure as possible. In the event that you need to disable TLS, this is how.

Change the following settings in <DatabaseDirectory>/mongo/data/config.conf :

net:
  ssl:
    mode: disabled

security:
  authorization: disabled

Then restart the Deadline 10 Database Service.

If settings/connection.ini was not already set to disable SSL, this could be changed by setting the following:

Authenticate=False
EnableSSL=False
