Spring Boot MongoDB Connectivity Issue

Question

My Spring Boot application is trying to connect to MongoDB Database. The configuration is added on application.yml file. The application was working completely fine locally till yesterday.

But when today I am running it locally on localhost, the following error I am receiving:

Need advice on what is the issue all about? As the code was working completely fine few hours before.

Answer 1

MongoDB has updated their server actually, might have updated their cipher. The solution is actually change the TLS Version to 1.2 in JVM params.

One can add in Eclipse (if using it as an IDE) -> Project -> Run As -> Run Configurations -> Arguments -> VM Arguments, add ->

-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2

Answer 2

I could fix this issue using the solution from this other question. I changed the TLS version to 1.2 in JVM params:

-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2

Answer 3

Other than downgrading to TLSV1.2, Upgrading your JDK fixes this too.

For JDK version 11.0.0 - 11.0.6, upgrading your JDK to a patched version. JDK-8236039

JDK version 13.0.0 - 13.0.02, upgrading to 13.0.03 should resolve this issue JDK-8241515
