Connecting to MongoDB over SSL with Node.js

Question

How do I connect to a MongoDB-server over SSL using Node.js?

I\'ve read the sources of a few drivers (mongojs, mongodb-native) and I\'ve been googling a while now, b

As suggested in the comments, the node-mongodb-native has everything needed.

I got it up and running using the following:

var mongo = require('mongodb');

var server = new mongo.Server('HOSTNAME', 27017, { ssl: true });
var db = new mongo.Db('NAME_OF_MY_DB', server, { w: 1 });
var auth = { user: 'USERNAME', pass: 'PASSWORD' };

db.open(function(err, db) {
  if (err) return console.log("error opening", err);

  db.authenticate(auth.user, auth.pass, function(err, result) {
    if (err) return console.log("error authenticating", err);

    console.log("authed?", result);

    db.collection('whatever').count(function(err, count) {
      if (err) return console.log("error counting", err);

      console.log("count", count);
      db.close()
    });
  });
});

Edit

You can also do ssl from mongoose:

mongoose.createConnection(connString, { server: { ssl: true }})
