This content is also valid for mrg-m-3.0.0 and shall be incorporated to the 3.0 MCIG.

The above mentioned chapter is not related to the bug description. These bug is related to SSL python client setup. I would expect a new chapter "Enable SSL in Python Clients" (like in MCIG for MRG 2.x). The description is still missing in the 3.x documentation.

"Server authentication is not supported."

I'd suggest the following change:

<<<
"The Python client has some limitations in SSL functionality.

Server authentication is not supported. Python clients support authentication with SSL, with some caveats:

The Python clients ..."

>>>
"The Python client has some limitations in SSL functionality:

Server authentication must be demanded, client name must be explicitly provided when using EXTERNAL SASL mechanism for authentication.

The Python clients ..."
