+By default, nodes will only consider a peer certificate to be a member certificate if the
+_Organization (O)_, _Organizational Unit (OU)_, and _Domain Component (DC)_ that might be contained
+in the certificate's _Subject Name_ match those contained in _its own_ subject name. This behavior
+can be customized to check for different attributes via `net.tls.clusterAuthX509.attributes` or
+`net.tls.clusterAuthX509.extensionValue`. See the [`auth`](../../db/auth/README.md) documentation
+for more information about X.509 intracluster auth.
