Security Overview

On this page

  • TLS for Encrypted Connections
  • Authentication Mechanisms

To ensure the security of your MongoDB Agents, Ops Manager hosts, and MongoDB deployments, Ops Manager supports the following security options.

Ops Manager supports encrypted connections using TLS server or client certificates. Client certificates identify the user while server certificates identifies the host.

  • The MongoDB Agent uses TLS server or client certificate that the legacy Automation Agent used.

    • If the legacy Monitoring Agent used its own TLS server or client certificate before the update to the MongoDB Agent, Monitoring continues to use that certificate.

    • If the legacy Backup Agent used its own TLS server or client certificate before the update to the MongoDB Agent, Backup continues to use that certificate.

  • Ops Manager can connect to its backing databases using TLS server or client certificates.

  • Ops Manager users can connect to the Ops Manager console or API using TLS server certificates.

Ops Manager supports these mechanisms to authenticate the Ops Manager Application and its Agents with your MongoDB processes:
