Add access control to Mongodb 3.0.3

Question

Currently our Mongodb on the remote Linux server can be connected with a blank username & password. check the picture as below : the client can access it by MongoVUE tool (or a java-based back-end system) with anonymous access.

So how to disable the anonymous access of Mongodb 3.0.3 and set a name/password authentication to the remote Mongo service.

MongoDB version 3.0.3 on CentOS 6.5

Answer 1

Yep, you need to create users in your database ,grant priveleges to them and then restart mongod process with --auth parameter. Note, that in mongo 3.* now using scram sha 1 auth method . I'm not sure that mongovue supports it! So another way is leave it in no auth mode , but configure on that server a list of IP that allows to conect on mongo port. Good luck!)
