Enabling TLS for mongoDB on port 27018

Are “Components to MongoDB” communications over TCP/IP via port 27018 is TLS enabled?

MongoDb itself does support encrypted connections (TLS) on port 27018.

If we were to enable it within MongoDb, would Alteryx server be able to connect to it?

 

Does your plans with PostgreSQL include supporting Alteryx->PostgreSQL TLS connections?

Hi @sidey 

 

Unfortunately, Alteryx Server can't communicate with MongoDB over TLS. This explains why cloud services are not supported  as of yet.

However rest assured that the internal communications are secured by our own ways.

 

As there is no communication related to PostgreSQL, I would suggest posting through our Server Idea Forum.

Kind regards

Any update on this?

 

I've trying to setup an EC2 instance with Alteryx Gallery, setting a MongoDB (DocumentDB) Connection String with TLS and it's not working.

There is communication between the services as it fully connected through mongo shell with --ssl --sslCAFile parameters.

Even the Alteryx Controller seens to be working with the same connection string.
