Connecting over SSL
The driver supports connecting to » MongoDB over SSL and can optionally use SSL Stream Context options to provide more details, such as verifying certificates against specific certificate chain, or authenticate to » MongoDB using X509 certificates.
Example #1 Connect to MongoDB Instance with SSL Encryption
<?php$mc = new MongoClient("mongodb://server1", array("ssl" => true));?>
Example #2 Connect to MongoDB Instance with SSL Encryption, verifying it is who we think it is
<?php$SSL_DIR = "/vagrant/certs";$SSL_FILE = "CA_Root_Certificate.pem";$ctx = stream_context_create(array( "ssl" => array( /* Certificate Authority the remote server certificate must be signed by */ "cafile" => $SSL_DIR . "/" . $SSL_FILE, /* Disable self signed certificates */ "allow_self_signed" => false, /* Verify the peer certificate against our provided Certificate Authority root certificate */ "verify_peer" => true, /* Default to false pre PHP 5.6 */ /* Verify the peer name (e.g. hostname validation) */ /* Will use the hostname used to connec to the node */ "verify_peer_name" => true, /* Verify the server certificate has not expired */ "verify_expiry" => true, /* Only available in the MongoDB PHP Driver */ ),);$mc = new MongoClient( "mongodb://server1", array("ssl" => true), array("context" => $ctx));?>
Note:
The
"verify_peer_name"is new in PHP 5.6.0. The MongoDB driver as of 1.6.5 however has backported this feature into the driver itself, so it works with PHP 5.3 and 5.4 too
Example #3 Connect to MongoDB Instance that Requires Client Certificates
<?php$SSL_DIR = "/vagrant/certs";$SSL_FILE = "CA_Root_Certificate.pem";$MYCERT = "/vagrant/certs/ca-signed-client.pem";$ctx = stream_context_create(array( "ssl" => array( "local_cert" => $MYCERT, /* If the certificate we are providing was passphrase encoded, we need to set it here */ "passphrase" => "My Passphrase for the local_cert", /* Optionally verify the server is who he says he is */ "cafile" => $SSL_DIR . "/" . $SSL_FILE, "allow_self_signed" => false, "verify_peer" => true, "verify_peer_name" => true, "verify_expiry" => true, ),));$mc = new MongoClient( "mongodb://server1/?ssl=true", array(), array("context" => $ctx));?>
Example #4 Authenticating with X.509 certificates
The username is the certificate subject from the X509, which can be extracted like this:
openssl x509 -in /vagrant/certs/ca-signed-client.pem -inform PEM -subject -nameopt RFC2253
<?php$ctx = stream_context_create( array( "ssl" => array( "local_cert" => "/vagrant/certs/ca-signed-client.pem", )) );$mc = new MongoClient( 'mongodb://username@server1/?authSource=$external&authMechanism=MONGODB-X509&ssl=true', array(), array("context" => $ctx));?>
Where username is the certificate subject.
