MongoDB: Server has startup warnings
mongodb, windows
Solution
You haven't configure the security features in Mongodb like authorization and authentication. Use this link for more details. You can ignore this if you are going to learn Mongodb. But when the product is going to production level. you should concern them. You can enable access control by using mongod --auth.
For example you can run `mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db1`. After that you can secure your database with username and password.
you can add user in database using following command.
use admin
db.auth("myUserAdmin", "abc123" )
After that you can use `mongo --port 27017 -u "myUserAdmin" -p "abc123" --authenticationDatabase "admin"` to connect to the database.
You can add `bind_ip` in mongod.conf as follows,
`bind_ip = 127.0.0.1,192.168.161.100`
You can define many if you need. This bind_ip option tells MongoDB to accept connections from which local network interfaces, not which “remote IP address”. And run `mongod --config <file path to your mongod.conf>` Altogether you can run `mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db1 --config <file path to your mongod.conf>`
Problem
I firstly installed MongoDB 3.2.5 today. But when I start it and use MongoDB shell, it gave me these warnings below: ``` C:\Windows\system32>mongo MongoDB shell version: 3.2.5 connecting to: test Server has startup warnings: 2016-04-16T11:06:17.943+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] 2016-04-16T11:06:17.943+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** WARNING: Insecure configuration, access control is not enabled and no --bind_ip has been specified. 2016-04-16T11:06:17.943+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** Read and write access to data and configuration is unrestricted, 2016-04-16T11:06:17.943+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** and the server listens on all available network interfaces. 2016-04-16T11:06:17.943+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] > ``` my OS is Microsoft Windows [`version 10.0.10586`].
