\fBKeysRotationIntervalSec\f1
.RS
.PP
\fIDefault\f1: 7776000 seconds (90 days)
.PP
Specifies the number of seconds for which an HMAC signing key (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash\-based_message_authentication_code)
is valid before rotating to the next one. This parameter is intended
primarily to facilitate authentication testing.

.PP
\fBldapUserCacheInvalidationInterval\f1
.RS
.PP
For use with MongoDB deployments using
\fBLDAP Authorization\f1\&. Available for \fBmongod\f1\f1
instances only.
.PP
The interval (in seconds) that the \fBmongod\f1\f1 instance
waits between external user cache flushes. After MongoDB flushes the
external user cache, MongoDB
reacquires authorization data from the LDAP server the
next time an LDAP\-authorized user issues an operation.
.PP
Increasing the value specified increases the amount of time
MongoDB and the LDAP server can be out of sync, but reduces the load on
the LDAP server. Conversely, decreasing the value specified
decreases the time MongoDB and the LDAP server can be out of sync while
increasing the load on the LDAP server.
.PP
Defaults to 30 seconds.

\fBopensslCipherConfig\f1

.PP
\fIAvailable on Linux only\f1
.PP
With the use of native TLS/SSL libraries, the parameter
\fBopensslCipherConfig\f1\f1 is supported for Linux/BSD and
no longer supported in Windows and macOS. See \fBMongoDB 4.0
TLS/SSL\f1\&.
.PP
Specify the cipher string for OpenSSL when using TLS/SSL encryption.
For a list of cipher strings, see
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER\-STRINGS (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER\-STRINGS)\&.
Multiple cipher strings can be provided as a colon\-separated list.
.PP
This parameter is only for use with TLS 1.2 or earlier. To specify
cipher suites for use with TLS 1.3, use the
\fBopensslCipherSuiteConfig\f1\f1 parameter.
.PP
You can only set \fBopensslCipherConfig\f1\f1 during start\-up,
and cannot change this setting using the \fBsetParameter\f1\f1
database command.
.PP
For version 4.2 and greater, the use of \fBTLS\f1 options is preferred
over \fBSSL\f1 options. The TLS options have the same functionality as
the \fBSSL\f1 options. For example, the following configures a
\fBmongod\f1\f1 with a \fBopensslCipherConfig\f1\f1
cipher string of \fB\(aqHIGH:!EXPORT:!aNULL@STRENGTH\(aq\f1 in MongoDB 4.2:
.PP
.EX
  mongod \-\-setParameter opensslCipherConfig=\(aqHIGH:!EXPORT:!aNULL@STRENGTH\(aq \-\-tlsMode requireTLS \-\-tlsCertificateKeyFile Certs/server.pem
.EE
.PP
For versions 4.0 and earlier:
.PP
.EX

.EE
.RE

\fBopensslCipherSuiteConfig\f1
.RS
.PP
\fIAvailable on Linux only\f1
.PP
Specify the list of supported cipher suites OpenSSL should permit
when using TLS 1.3 encryption.
.PP
For a list of cipher suites for use with TLS 1.3, see
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list.html (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list.html)\&.
Multiple cipher suites can be provided as a colon\-separated list.
.PP
This parameter is only for use with TLS 1.3. To specify cipher
strings for use with TLS 1.2 or earlier, use the
\fBopensslCipherConfig\f1\f1 parameter.
.PP
You can only set \fBopensslCipherSuiteConfig\f1\f1 during
start\-up, and cannot change this setting using the
\fBsetParameter\f1\f1 database command. For example, the
following configures a \fBmongod\f1\f1 with a
\fBopensslCipherSuiteConfig\f1\f1 cipher suite of
\fB\(aqTLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384\(aq\f1 for use with TLS 1.3:

.EE
.RE
.PP
\fBopensslDiffieHellmanParameters\f1
.RS
.PP
\fIAvailable on Linux only\f1
.PP
Specify the path to the PEM file that contains the OpenSSL
Diffie\-Hellman parameters when using TLS 1.2 or previous. Specifying
the OpenSSL Diffie\-Hellman parameters enables support for \fBEphemeral Diffie\-Hellman (DHE)\f1
cipher suites during TLS/SSL encryption.
.PP
This parameter is not supported for use with TLS 1.3.
.PP
Ephemeral Diffie\-Hellman (DHE) cipher suites (and Ephemeral Elliptic
Curve Diffie\-Hellman (ECDHE) cipher suites) provide
\fBForward Secrecy\f1\&. \fBForward Secrecy\f1 cipher suites
create an ephemeral session key that is protected by the server\(aqs
private key but never transmitted. This ensures that even if a
server\(aqs private key is compromised, you cannot decrypt past
sessions with the compromised key.
.PP
Starting in MongoDB 4.2, if
\fBopensslDiffieHellmanParameters\f1\f1 is unset but
\fBECDHE\f1 is enabled, MongoDB enables DHE using the
\fBffdhe3072\f1 Diffie\-Hellman parameter, as defined in
RFC\-7919#appendix\-A.2 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/7919#appendix\-A.2)\&. The \fBffdhe3072\f1 is a strong parameter
(specifically, size is greater than 1024). Strong parameters are
not supported with Java 6 and 7 unless extended support has been
purchased from Oracle.
.PP
You can only set \fBopensslDiffieHellmanParameters\f1\f1 during
startup, and cannot change this setting using the
\fBsetParameter\f1\f1 database command.
.PP
If for performance reasons, you need to disable support for DHE
cipher suites, use the \fBopensslCipherConfig\f1\f1 parameter:
.PP
.EX

For a MongoDB deployment that uses x.509 certificates for

each other using x.509 certificates (
\fBnet.tls.clusterFile\f1\f1, if specified, and

communications. For members of the same deployment, the \fBDN\f1 from

the member can also use the override value when comparing the \fBDN\f1

.PP
Minimum delay before a migrated \fBchunk\f1 is deleted from the source
shard.
.PP
Before deleting the chunk during chunk migration, MongoDB waits for
\fBorphanCleanupDelaySecs\f1\f1 or for in\-progress queries involving
the chunk to complete on the shard primary, whichever is longer.
.PP
However, because the shard primary has no knowledge of in\-progress queries
run on the shard secondaries, queries that use the chunk but are run on
secondaries may see documents disappear if these queries take longer than
the time to complete the shard primary queries and the
\fBorphanCleanupDelaySecs\f1\f1\&.
.PP
This behavior only affects in\-progress queries that start before the
chunk migration. Queries that start after the chunk migration starts
will not use the migrating chunk.
.PP
If a shard has storage constraints, consider reducing this value
temporarily. If running queries that exceed 15 minutes on shard
secondaries, consider increasing this value.
