mongoDB version 2.6 was an option file mongod.conf
Allow "Auth" Or "NoAuth"
How to do it now mongoDB version 3.2?
According to the Mongo docs here -
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/configuration-options/#security.authorization - one can enable authorization (which is DISABLED by default) by doing the following:
Edit the mongo settings file /etc/mongod.conf
Add the line:
security.authorization : enabled
Restart the service

Am new to Mongo DB trying to find the conf file to set up default sever to connect when opening the shell.
Am using:
Windows 10 , shellplus-4.2.5 and connecting to Cloud mongo DB with below command
mongo "mongodb+srv://{SERVER}/test" --username admin
I can not see any config file available. How to set default or Configuration that need to be used
db.adminCommand('getCmdLineOpts');
{ "argv" : [ ], "parsed" : { }, "ok" : 1 }
When you are using MongoDB Atlas, you do not need to set up a server. Atlas is the server.
No configuration is needed to connect to Atlas beyond the correct URI, as described in the documentation.
In case you are using MongoDB Atlas, then you Atlas platform does not the access to the configuration file. In Atlas their is default configuration available which is available on all clusters and users cannot make any changes to the configuration file.
However, in case you are using our own hosted MongoDB deployment then you can access the default MongoDB configuration file on the following path:
On Linux, a default /etc/mongod.conf configuration file is included when using a package manager to install MongoDB.
On Windows, a default /bin/mongod.cfg configuration file is included during the installation.
On macOS, a default /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf configuration file is included when installing from MongoDB’s official Homebrew tap.
For more information please refer the documentation : https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/configuration-options/index.html
and it is not mandatory to use the default mongod.conf file on the above mentioned path. You can make your custom configuration file and can run you own hosted deployment with the following command:
mongod -f mongod1.conf
Please ping me in case you need more information
We installed MongoDB on windows(development) version 3.4, and enabled authentication, after running the command mongod --auth, the authentication was successfully implemented.
Now on the production server that is Ubuntu 16, with MongoDb version 4.0, we made changes to the mongod.conf file as seen below and then restated the mongod service with command sudo service mongod start, but now we are not able to connect to our MongoDB Ubuntu server.
security:
authorization: "enabled"
Where did we go wrong in implementing authentication for MongoDB on Ubuntu server.
security:
authorization: "enabled"
2 possible issues here : reading the doc, i'm not sure you need to quote the enabled word.
Moreover, yaml format need to increment sub part of conf, so your conf file have to look like :
security:
authorization: enabled
But cannot really test, since i don't have any running local instance
we are using centos 7 , mongodb 3.0.8
Im trying to disable anonymous access to mongodb.
Place auth = true in /etc/mongod.conf disabling anonymous access in version 2.x
but in version 3 when i place the same , the server it self not starting
When i hard search , i found in the mongo docs that in version 3.x
security.authorization should be placed in /etc/mongod.conf
Could any one please help me how to place security.authorization in config file.
add the following to the mongod.conf file:
security:
authorization: enabled
I'm running a 3 server MongoDB replica set. I recently upgraded from 2.4 to 2.6.
On 2.4 I was able to reach the HTTP Console on all three servers, regardless of whether they were Primary or Secondary. Now with 2.6 there is a different config setting needed to enable the console.
# Disable the HTTP interface (Defaults to localhost:28017).
#nohttpinterface = true
nohttpinterface = false
If I create a completely fresh, standalone instance with 2.6, it works. However on the replica set, it does not. MongoDB is running on 27017 and I have confirmed nothing is running on 28017, so that rules out firewall issues.
Are there additional changes required to enable this feature on a replica set?
Adding
httpinterface=true
in /etc/mongod.conf enables it on http://127.0.0.1:28017
I had to add
rest=true
to enable REST interface so that commands in http console are working.
For mongodb v3.0.2 the mongod.conf is a yaml file,
you should add these two lines after net:
http.enabled: true
http.RESTInterfaceEnabled: true
my mongod.conf is
net:
bindIp: 127.0.0.1
http.enabled: true
http.RESTInterfaceEnabled: true
https://docs.mongodb.com/ecosystem/tools/http-interfaces/
HTTP Status Interface
Deprecated since version 3.2: Starting in 3.2, MongoDB deprecates the HTTP interface.
Well, restarting works with stop and start command, but I cannot seem to execute the mongodb command with --auth option.
root#random:/home/random/public_html# mongodb stop
root#random:/home/random/public_html# start mongodb --auth
start: invalid option: --auth
root#random:/home/random/public_html# start mongodb
mongodb start/running, process 29473
root#random:/home/random/public_html#
How can I start mongodb with --auth option?
Edit /etc/mongod.conf and add a line like this:
auth=true
Then:
service mongod restart
See this page for more configuration options: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/File+Based+Configuration
For MongoDB latest versions 3.x above code wont work, below code in mongod.conf if you are using mongodb 3.x
security:
authorization: enabled
If you are using MongoDB 3, setting auth = true wont work. You will instead need the following in your /etc/mongod.conf
security:
authorization: enabled
For mongodb version 3.2
this is the correct config
security:
authorization: "enabled"
in String format
Just want to supplement the answer. For MongoDB 3, the /etc/mongod.conf has changed. Either of below enable MondgoDB authorization option (--auth):
security:
keyFile: [The path to a key file]
-- or--
security:
authorization: enabled
Details can be found here
you should put the --auth option in the startup script
/etc/rc[0-6].d/mongod
