MongoDB YAML "Unrecognized option: security.ldap.servers"

Question

I am running MongoDB v.4.4.0 on Linux CentOS 7. I am having trouble setting up the YAML config file for for security and authorization. When I have the below config file I only receive an error saying "Unrecognized option: security.ldap.servers". What is wrong with my config?

systemLog:
  destination: file
  path: "/home/mongo/mongodb/logs/mongod.log"
  logAppend: true

storage:
  dbPath: "/home/mongo/mongodb/data/db"

net:
  bindIp: localhost, 127.0.0.1
  port: 27017

security:
#  authorization: enabled
  ldap:
    servers: "ldap"
    bind:
      queryUser: user
      queryPassword: pass
    transportSecurity: none
    userToDNMapping: '[{match: "(.+)", ldapQuery: "o=int,c=com?uid?sub?userPrincipalName={0}@ldap.xxx.com"}]'
    authz:
      queryTemplate: '{USER}?memberOf?base'
setParameter:
  authenticationMechanisms: 'PLAIN,SCRAM-SHA-1'

Thanks

You received that error because security.ldap.servers is available only in MongoDB Enterprise. See the documentation section (eg security.ldap.servers) here . I guess you are trying it in community edition. However, I found some useful documentation , which says free, compatiable and drop-in replacement MongoDB Community Edition with enterprise-grade features. I didn't try it personally yet. Additionally, you may have a look into this . Thanks
