Background
Previously, the database accepted unencrypted connections by default.
Improvement
The database enforces encrypted connections from the clients by default. This also applies to clients with encryption disabled explicitly. In these cases, the clients connect encrypted anyway.
Details
To return to the old default behavior (not enforcing encryption), start the DB with the parameter:
-forceProtocolEncryption=0
Changed behavior
DB Default configuration for accepting clients are changed. From now on wards, the DB will accept only encrypted connections (Either TLS, or ChaCha) from the clients.
