If you just want to connect your spring boot app with mongodb, you can use the keyStore and trustStore with java code. So you dont have to add your certificate via command line. If you are using cloud foundry you can connect your app with mongodbServices and then you have all the credentials you need in System.getEnv("VCAP_SERVICES").
@Configuration
public class MongoConfiguration extends AbstractMongoConfiguration {
private static Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(MongoConfiguration.class);
@Value("${spring.data.mongodb.database}")
private String defaultDatabase; //database you want to connect
private String host;
private int port;
private String authenticationDb; //usually admin
private String username;
private char[] password;
private String certificateDecoded; //your CA Certifcate decoded (starts with BEGIN CERTIFICATE)
public MongoConfiguration() {
//method for credentials initialization
}
//you can't set replicaset=replset in mongooptions so if you want set replicaset, you have to use
// customEditorConfigurer in combintaion with class that implementsPropertyEditorRegistrar
@Bean
public static CustomEditorConfigurer customEditorConfigurer(){
CustomEditorConfigurer configurer = new CustomEditorConfigurer();
configurer.setPropertyEditorRegistrars(
new PropertyEditorRegistrar[]{new ServerAddressPropertyEditorRegistrar()});
return configurer;
}
@Override
protected String getDatabaseName() {
return authenticationDb;
}
@Override
@Bean
public MongoClient mongoClient() {
MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient(Arrays.asList(new ServerAddress(host, port)), mongoCredentials(), mongoClientOptions());
return mongoClient;
}
@Bean
public MongoClientOptions mongoClientOptions() {
MongoClientOptions.Builder mongoClientOptions = MongoClientOptions.builder().sslInvalidHostNameAllowed(true).sslEnabled(true);
try {
InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(certificateDecoded.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
CertificateFactory certificateFactory = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
X509Certificate caCert = (X509Certificate) certificateFactory.generateCertificate(inputStream);
TrustManagerFactory trustManagerFactory = TrustManagerFactory
.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
keyStore.load(null); // You don't need the KeyStore instance to come from a file.
keyStore.setCertificateEntry("caCert", caCert);
trustManagerFactory.init(keyStore);
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
sslContext.init(null, trustManagerFactory.getTrustManagers(), null);
mongoClientOptions.sslContext(sslContext);
mongoClientOptions.sslInvalidHostNameAllowed(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new IllegalStateException(e);
}
return mongoClientOptions.build();
}
private MongoCredential mongoCredentials() {
return MongoCredential.createCredential(username, authenticationDb, password);
}
//With MongoTemplate you have access to db.
@Bean
public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() {
SimpleMongoDbFactory factory = new SimpleMongoDbFactory(mongoClient(), defaultDatabase);
return new MongoClient(factory);
}
}
public final class ServerAddressPropertyEditorRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
@Override
public void registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry registry) {
registry.registerCustomEditor(ServerAddress[].class, new ServerAddressPropertyEditor());
}
}

I would suggest that you look at Accessing Data with MongoDB available here https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-mongodb/ for basic usage examples. spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb will get you a long way, what you need to do is configure a MongoClientOptions bean like this
@Bean
public MongoClientOptions mongoClientOptions(){
System.setProperty ("javax.net.ssl.keyStore","<<PATH TO KEYSTOR >>");
System.setProperty ("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword","PASSWORD");
MongoClientOptions.Builder builder = MongoClientOptions.builder();
MongoClientOptions options=builder.sslEnabled(true).build();
return options;
}
and pass the mongo client options to MongoClient instance as an argument as follows
public MongoClient(ServerAddress addr, MongoClientOptions options) {
super(addr, options);
}
Adding further, when mongo processs is started with
mongo --ssl --sslAllowInvalidCertificates --host --port
clients connecting to the mongo process dont have to set any options to support this.
I used this post Spring data mongodb, how to set SSL? and this spring.io guide as reference.
Hope that it helps
