Including a keyfile in pymongo's MongoClient()

Question

I used to connect to a mongo server with:

connection = pymongo.MongoClient(host,int(port))

However, we recently installed individual keyfile security in accessing the database. I have consulted documentation here, and in other examples, and it looks like the right way to include that should be:

connection = pymongo.MongoClient(host,int(port), ssl=True, ssl_keyfile="/.ssh/mykeyfile")

However, trying either the ssl_keyfile or ssl_certificate flags both return

pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError: Unknown option ssl_certfile
pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError: Unknown option ssl_keyfile

How can I add this parameter to connect with keyfile authentication? I am puzzled that this item that is specified clearly in the documentation is throwing this error.

Answer 1

Which version of pymongo are you running?

The SSL options were added in 2.5, and works here (I'm using 2.6.3). Referring to the doc you linked:

Changed in version 2.5: Added additional ssl options
