I'm having issues with using some self-signed SSL certificates with Mongoose. The thing that's getting me hung up is that I can connect to the database server just fine with the normal Mongo Node client, but when I try the connection using the exact same configuration with Mongoose.createConnection, I get an error message reading '[conn1] no SSL certificate provided by peer' when I check the Mongod logs.

This is the code I use to connect with the MongoClient.connect (works):

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient
var fs = require('fs')  

// Read the certificates
const ca = [fs.readFileSync(process.env.caPath)];
const cert = fs.readFileSync(process.env.certPath);
let urlPath = ["mongodb://", username, ":", password, "@", dburl, ":", port, "/collection?&ssl=true"]
let url = urlPath.join('')

// Connect validating the returned certificates from the server
const options = {
  server: {
    ssl: true,
    sslValidate: true,
    sslCA: ca,
    sslCert: cert
  }
}

MongoClient.connect(url, options, function(err, db) {
  do stuff
})

And this is the code using Mongoose.createConnection (doesn't work):

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const fs = require('fs')

let urlPath = ["mongodb://", username, ":", password "@", dburl, ":", port, "/collection?&ssl=true"]
let url = urlPath.join('')

var ca = [fs.readFileSync(process.env.caPath, 'utf8')];
var cert = fs.readFileSync(process.env.certPath, 'utf8');

const options = {
  server: {
    ssl: true,
    sslValidate: true,
    sslCA: ca,
    sslCert: cert
  }
}
const connection = mongoose.createConnection(url, options)

According to the Mongoose docs, this looks like the right way to connect, and to add to the weirdness, passing in the server options to Mongoose.connect seems to work as well.

Thank you!
