.. warning::

If the :setting:`--sslCAFile` option and its target
file are not specified, x.509 client authentication will not function.
:program:`mongod` will not be able to verify the client's certificate
against the trusted certificate authority (CA) that issued it, breaking the
certificate chain.
If the :option:`--sslCAFile <mongod --sslCAFile>` option and its target
file are not specified, x.509 client and member authentication will not
function. :program:`mongod` (and :program:`mongos` in sharded environments)
will not be able to verify the certificates of processes connecting to it
against the trusted certificate authority (CA) that issued them, breaking
the certificate chain.

As of version 2.6.4, :program:`mongod` will not start with x.509
authentication enabled if the CA file is not specified.
