It looks like you will first need to setup MongoDB Client PEM based on these steps:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure-ssl-clients/

Then from a Hunk configuration point of view add these two flags:

vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = X509
vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]

MongoDB allows to specify 4 types of authentication mechanism, namely Plain, Kerberos, CR(Challenge-Response) and X509; for verfying user and database access.
