      Problem Statement/Rationale

      Old tools used to ask for a password interactively. This is no longer the case with new tools.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Point mongodump to a client certificate that has an encrypted private key (PKCS#5 or PKCS#8)

      Expected Results

      The utility unwraps the private key and leaves no trace of the password neither in the process table or in a configuration file on the disk

      Actual Results

      The utility fails with the can't load client certificate: no password provided to decrypt private key error

      Additional Notes

      The customer can't use a configuration file or the --sslPEMKeyPassword command-line parameter due to compliance reasons
