mongodb设置数据库密码

Question

I read through several docs on mongodb but I'm so confused that I'm posting this question.

Is there a way to set a password for a mongodb database? That ways when I try to open the database via console or connect using mongoose/node.js I will need a password.

Thank you.

There is the "auth" parameter to start mongod with required authentication. Therefor you have to create an admin user (a user which has admin privilegs like - creating other users and so on) and then you can create a user for read, readwrite or write rights for specific databases. http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.createUser/#create-administrative-user-with-roles http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.createUser/#create-user-with-roles

Important is, that you start your mongo db with the auth parameter after creating these users.

mongod --auth
