Connecting to endpoints

When you have your endpoint, either cluster or instance, you can connect to it using the mongo shell or a connection string.

Connecting using the mongo shell

Use the following structure to construct the string that you need to connect to your cluster or instance using the mongo shell:

mongo \
    --ssl \
    --host Endpoint:Port \
    --sslCAFile global-bundle.pem \
    --username UserName \
    --password Password

mongo shell examples

Connect to a cluster:

mongo \
    --ssl \
    --host sample-cluster.corcjozrlsfc.us-east-1.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017 \
    --sslCAFile global-bundle.pem \
    --username UserName \
    --password Password

Connect to an instance:

mongo \
    --ssl \
    --host sample-cluster-instance.corcjozrlsfc.us-east-1.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017 \
    --sslCAFile global-bundle.pem \
    --username UserName \
    --password Password

Connecting using a connection string

Use the following structure to construct the connection string that you need to connect to your cluster or instance.

mongodb://UserName:Password@endpoint:port?replicaSet=rs0&ssl_ca_certs=global-bundle.pem 

Connection string examples

Connect to a cluster:

mongodb://UserName:Password@sample-cluster.cluster-corlsfccjozr.us-east-1.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017?replicaSet=rs0&ssl_ca_certs=global-bundle.pem 

Connect to an instance:

mongodb://UserName:Password@sample-cluster-instance.cluster-corlsfccjozr.us-east-1.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017?replicaSet=rs0&ssl_ca_certs=global-bundle.pem
