MongoDB: Allow setting SSL options or Connection String

[dror-g]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hi, afraid I can't connect to AWS DocumentDB.
Since SSH Tunnel is not available, I use ssh -L and run locally.

Problem is - the AWS CA cert will consider the hostname invalid, and AllowInvalidHostnames option cannot be set, so connection will timeout.

(note: Could be overcome by running inside AWS for now)

Describe the solution you'd like

Optimally, allow selecting SSL options in UI -

• tlsAllowInvalidHostnames
• tlAllowInvalidCertificates (will probably be useful to users)

Alternatively or additionally - allow users to set the MongoDB Connection String:
mongodb://<user>:<Password>@docdb.us-east-1.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017/?tls=true&tlsCAFile=<CAcert>&tlsAllowInvalidHostname=true

The Connection String workaround is common in tools that don't allow setting the SSL, and also allows setting other MongoDB options (i.e readSecondary and such).

Cheers!

Thanks for you contribution, we will look into this problem. And I believe the key problem is that use ssh tunnel as you said.
