Hello I am just trying to connect to my documentDb using mongoose; hosted on AWS. From my local pc, I am try to do it like:

const URI = 'mongodb://username::27017/?ssl=true&replicaSet=rs0&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false'
mongoose.connect(URI, { useNewUrlParser: true , ssl: true});

DocumentDB supports TLS protocol. It worked for me when I

1/ downloaded the TLS public key using

wget 

2/ changed the parameter ssl=true to tls=true in the connection string,

3/ and updated the params to connect() method.

const uri = 'mongodb://<user>:<password>@<clusterAddress>:27017/?tls=true&replicaSet=rs0&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false'
const client = new MongoClient(uri,{tlsCAFile: `rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem`});
try{ await client.connect();
}

I referred to this DocumentDB documentation.

I had the same issue, which I resolved by following method.

 mongodb://username:password@host_cluster:port_number/database_name?tls=true&ssl=true&tlsCAFile=xyz.bundle.pem&retryWrites=false&replicaSet=replicaSetName

Try sslCA insted of ssl_ca_certs.
