MongoDB: Server has startup warnings ''Access control is not enabled for the database''
mongodb
Solution
Mongodb v3.4
You need to do the following to create a secure database:
Make sure the user starting the process has permissions and that the directories exist (`/data/db` in this case).
1) Start MongoDB without access control.
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db
2) Connect to the instance.
mongo --port 27017
3) Create the user administrator (in the admin authentication database).
use admin
db.createUser(
{
user: "myUserAdmin",
pwd: "abc123",
roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
}
)
4) Re-start the MongoDB instance with access control.
mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db
5) Connect and authenticate as the user administrator.
mongo --port 27017 -u "myUserAdmin" -p "abc123" --authenticationDatabase "admin"
6) Create additional users as needed for your deployment (e.g. in the test authentication database).
use test
db.createUser(
{
user: "myTester",
pwd: "xyz123",
roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "test" },
{ role: "read", db: "reporting" } ]
}
)
7) Connect and authenticate as myTester.
mongo --port 27017 -u "myTester" -p "xyz123" --authenticationDatabase "test"
I basically just explained the short version of the official docs here: https://docs.mongodb.com/master/tutorial/enable-authentication/
Problem
I firstly installed MongoDB 3.4.1 today. But when I start it and use MongoDB shell, it gave me these warnings below: ``` C:\Users\hs>"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongo.exe MongoDB shell version v3.4.1 connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 MongoDB server version: 3.4.1 Server has startup warnings: 2017-01-12T21:19:46.941+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] 2017-01-12T21:19:46.942+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** WARNING: Access control is not enabled for the database. 2017-01-12T21:19:46.942+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** Read and write access to data and configuration is unrestricted. 2017-01-12T21:19:46.942+0800 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ``` my computer is Microsoft Windows [`version 10.0.14393`].
