   4. Enable Authentication: Enable member and client authentication for the database. 

   5. dSource authentication details:

      1. Mongo Admin User: This is the admin user of the staging database. This user should be created on the fly.

      2. MongoDB Password: This is the admin user password of the staging database.

      4. KeyAuth keyfile name: This is the absolute path of keyFile. 

   6. Enable SSL/TLS: Enable SSL/TLS member authentication. 

      1. SSL/TLS Parameters: Specify at least the following parameters; tlsMode, tlsCAFile, tlsCertificateKeyFile.

   7. Enable LDAP: Enable LDAP encryption on server.
