Ansible community,

Does anyone know if the mongodb\_user supports the use of a x509 certificate based user? Looking at the given options, there doesn’t look like an option to specify an CA file or a key file even though the mongo python driver seems to support x509 based authentication.

Is this module only designed to allow password based users to manage other password based users?
