Properties

Optional ALPNProtocols

ALPNProtocols: Uint8Array | string[] | Uint8Array[]

An array of strings or a Buffer naming possible ALPN protocols. (Protocols should be ordered by their priority.)

Optional appName

appName: string

The name of the application that created this MongoClient instance. MongoDB 3.4 and newer will print this value in the server log upon establishing each connection. It is also recorded in the slow query log and profile collections

Optional auth

auth: Auth

The auth settings for when connection to server.

Optional authMechanism

authMechanism: AuthMechanism

Specify the authentication mechanism that MongoDB will use to authenticate the connection.

Optional authMechanismProperties

authMechanismProperties: { CANONICALIZE_HOST_NAME?: boolean; SERVICE_NAME?: string; SERVICE_REALM?: string }

Specify properties for the specified authMechanism as a comma-separated list of colon-separated key-value pairs.

Type declaration

  • [key: string]: any
  • Optional CANONICALIZE_HOST_NAME?: boolean
  • Optional SERVICE_NAME?: string
  • Optional SERVICE_REALM?: string

Optional authSource

authSource: string

Specify the database name associated with the user’s credentials.

Optional autoEncryption

autoEncryption: AutoEncryptionOptions

Optionally enable client side auto encryption

remarks

Automatic encryption is an enterprise only feature that only applies to operations on a collection. Automatic encryption is not supported for operations on a database or view, and operations that are not bypassed will result in error (see libmongocrypt: Auto Encryption Allow-List). To bypass automatic encryption for all operations, set bypassAutoEncryption=true in AutoEncryptionOpts.

Automatic encryption requires the authenticated user to have the listCollections privilege action.

If a MongoClient with a limited connection pool size (i.e a non-zero maxPoolSize) is configured with AutoEncryptionOptions, a separate internal MongoClient is created if any of the following are true:

  • AutoEncryptionOptions.keyVaultClient is not passed.
  • AutoEncryptionOptions.bypassAutomaticEncryption is false.

If an internal MongoClient is created, it is configured with the same options as the parent MongoClient except minPoolSize is set to 0 and AutoEncryptionOptions is omitted.

Optional bsonRegExp

bsonRegExp: boolean

return BSON regular expressions as BSONRegExp instances.

Optional ca

ca: string | Buffer | (string | Buffer)[]

Optionally override the trusted CA certificates. Default is to trust the well-known CAs curated by Mozilla. Mozilla's CAs are completely replaced when CAs are explicitly specified using this option.

Optional cert

cert: string | Buffer | (string | Buffer)[]

Cert chains in PEM format. One cert chain should be provided per private key. Each cert chain should consist of the PEM formatted certificate for a provided private key, followed by the PEM formatted intermediate certificates (if any), in order, and not including the root CA (the root CA must be pre-known to the peer, see ca). When providing multiple cert chains, they do not have to be in the same order as their private keys in key. If the intermediate certificates are not provided, the peer will not be able to validate the certificate, and the handshake will fail.

Optional checkKeys

checkKeys: boolean

the serializer will check if keys are valid.

Optional checkServerIdentity

checkServerIdentity: (host: string, cert: PeerCertificate) => Error | undefined

Type declaration

    • (host: string, cert: PeerCertificate): Error | undefined

      • cert: PeerCertificate

      Returns Error | undefined

Use crypto.getCurves() to obtain a list of available curve names. On recent releases, openssl ecparam -list_curves will also display the name and description of each available elliptic curve. Default: tls.DEFAULT_ECDH_CURVE.

Multiple PFX can be provided either as an array of unencrypted PFX buffers, or an array of objects in the form {buf: <string|buffer>[, passphrase: ]}. The object form can only occur in an array. object.passphrase is optional. Encrypted PFX will be decrypted with object.passphrase if provided, or options.passphrase if it is not.
