Generates one X.509 certificate for the specified MongoDB user. Atlas manages the certificate and MongoDB user that belong to one project.
To get MongoDB Cloud to generate a managed certificate for a database user, set "x509Type" : "MANAGED" on the desired MongoDB Database User.
If you are managing your own Certificate Authority (CA) in Self-Managed X.509 mode, you must generate certificates for database users using your own CA.
- Project Database Access Admin
- Project Stream Processing Owner
Path parameters
-
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the /groups endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.
NOTE: Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your group id is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.
Format should match the following pattern:
^([a-f0-9]{24})$. -
Human-readable label that represents the MongoDB database user account for whom to create a certificate.
Query parameters
-
Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an
envelopeJSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.Default value is
false. -
Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.
Default value is
false.Prettyprint
