On Cloud Mongo (Mongo Atlas) Free tier, it has 3 members of servers. How can I connect to the Secondary host from Mongo shell? Their example only shows how to connect to Primary.

"members" : [
        {
            "_id" : 0,
            "name" : "***-shard-00-00-***.mongodb.net:27017",
            ....
        },
        {
            "_id" : 1,
            "name" : "***-shard-00-01-***.mongodb.net:27017",
            .....
        },
        {
            "_id" : 2,
            "name" : "***-shard-00-02-***.mongodb.net:27017",
            .....
        }
    ]

You need to use the --ssl flag and specify authSource.

Try:

mongo "mongodb://***-shard-00-02-***.mongodb.net:27017/?authSource=admin" --ssl

at the very minimum. Of course you can add options for username, password, database to connect, etc...

mongo "mongodb://<username>:<password>@***-shard-00-02-***.mongodb.net:27017/<database>?authSource=admin" --ssl

I hope this helps.
