By default authentication is not enabled within Mongo.\u00a0 In this article we will show you how to enable authentication , create an account for global mongo administration and also create an account for database level authentication.<\/p>\n
First of all we go into the mongo shell and create our admin user.<\/p>\n
use admin\r\ndb.createUser(\r\n {\r\n user: \"admin\",\r\n pwd: \"password\",\r\n roles: [ { role: \"root\", db: \"admin\" } ]\r\n }\r\n)\r\nexit;<\/pre>\nEnable Auth<\/h2>\n
Next we enable authentication via the use of the –auth\u00a0 switch.<\/p>\n
mongo --auth --config \/etc\/mongo.conf<\/pre>\nYou can use the following command to check to see that auth is enabled\u00a0db.getUsers()<\/span><\/p>\n> db.getUsers()\r\n2016-10-24T12:35:16.962+0100 Error: not authorized on test to execute command { usersInfo: 1.0 \r\n} at src\/mongo\/shell\/db.js:1363<\/pre>\nCreate DB Users<\/h2>\n
Finally lets create another user and assign it to a single database.<\/p>\n
db.auth('admin','password')\r\nuse example\r\ndb.createUser(\r\n {\r\n user: \"example\",\r\n pwd: \"password\",\r\n roles: [ { role: \"readWrite\", db: \"example\" } ]\r\n }\r\n)<\/pre>\nDjango<\/h2>\n
In order to connect to Mongo with your new user you must first install pymongo,<\/p>\n
pip install pymongo==2.8.1<\/pre>\n
