mongoc_ssl_opt_t - Man Page
Synopsis
typedef struct {
const char *pem_file;
const char *pem_pwd;
const char *ca_file;
const char *ca_dir;
const char *crl_file;
bool weak_cert_validation;
bool allow_invalid_hostname;
void *internal;
void *padding[6];
} mongoc_ssl_opt_t;- Note:
Though some API names include the term "ssl", the C driver only support TLS protocols, which supersede SSL.
Description
This structure is used to set the TLS options for a mongoc_client_t <> or mongoc_client_pool_t <>.
Beginning in version 1.2.0, once a pool or client has any TLS options set, all connections use TLS, even if ssl=true is omitted from the MongoDB URI. Before, TLS options were ignored unless tls=true was included in the URI.
As of 1.4.0, the mongoc_client_pool_set_ssl_opts() <> and mongoc_client_set_ssl_opts() <> will not only shallow copy the struct, but will also copy the const char*. It is therefore no longer needed to make sure the values remain valid after setting them.
