support certificate authentication internally within the app

[Nicholas_Bignell]

Alteryx server should support certificate authentication internally within the app (i.e. to the internal MongoDB) rather than password based authentication? this is not User Authentication for Gallery and workflows but the Alteryx Application itself and how it authenticates against the MongoDB.  this would allow it to be installed in Very Secure environments that insist on stronger authentication methods.

Thank you for posting @Nicholas_Bignell.  We are looking at supporting other authentication types for the connection to MongoDB including Kerberos authentication and we will also keep this in mind as we're exploring the options.  Thanks again!

Thank you for your feedback!

I'm updating this idea to Implemented as we enabled this feature for MongoDB through our custom MongoDB connection screen in the  2020.1 release.
