MongoDB create collection failure - mongodb

I am trying to
1. Create a database
use testdb switched to db testdb
2. Create collection
testdb.createCollection(testcollection)
I am getting following error:
2015-05-12T11:21:19.619-0700 E QUERY ReferenceError: testdb is not defined
at (shell):1:1

The correct way is by using the db.createCollection() method, your code fails because testdb is not a mongodb object in your call testdb.createCollection(testcollection). Try the following:
> use testdb
switched to db testdb
> db.createCollection("testcollection")
{ "ok" : 1 }
> db.getCollectionNames()
[ "system.indexes", "testcollection" ]

}
the command i run to get the records :
mongo host_name:port/data_base_name -u user -p 'password' --eval "load(\"get_DRMPhysicalresources_Data.js\")" > DRMPhysicalresources.json
and i am able to get the result as josn formate inside DRMPhysicalresources.json , now i want to switch to other data base using use command i try add use db as below :
conatin of get_DRMPhysicalresources_Data.js
use db2_test
cursor = db.physicalresources.find().limit(10)
while ( cursor.hasNext() ){
print( JSON.stringify(cursor.next()) );
}
the command i run to get the records :

is there are any way to add use db2_test without break it ?
You can try this:
db = new Mongo().getDB("myOtherDatabase");
or
db = db.getSiblingDB('myOtherDatabase')
( this is the exact js equivalent to the 'use database' helper)

MongoDB - Collection-level roles

I have a trouble.
I'm trying to apply a role to user.
I want the user only find, insert, remove and update specific collection
I'm doing this.
Create role:
db.createRole({role:'user_role_col',privileges:[{resource:{db:'something_else', collection: 'col_something_else'}, actions: ['find','remove','insert','update']}], roles: []});
.
Create user with that role:
db.createUser({user: 'user_col',pwd: '1234',roles: [{role: "user_role_col", db: "something_else"}]})
.
When I created role and user, I stay on something_else database (use something_else)
0 errors got, but I can only read col_something_else, I cannot remove, update, or insert :(
What am I doing wrong?
I believe the following commands replicates what you did. Here I'm creating the role and user in the test database:
> use test
> db.createRole({role: 'testRole', privileges: [{resource: {db:'test', collection:'test'}, actions:['find','update','insert','remove']}], roles: []})
> db.createUser({user:'testUser',pwd:'password',roles:[{role:'testRole', db:'test'}]})
I would then have to quit the mongo shell and re-authenticate using the new credentials. However, the authenticationDatabase parameter must point to the test database, since that's where I created the role and the user:
$ mongo -u testUser -p password --authenticationDatabase test
> db.test2.insert({a:1}) //try inserting to a non-"test" collection
unauthorized
> db.test2.find() //try find on a non-"test" collection
unauthorized
> db.test.insert({a:1}) //insert into "test" collection
Inserted 1 record(s)
> db.test.updateMany({},{$set:{a:2}}) //update "test" collection
{
"acknowledged": true,
"matchedCount": 1,
"modifiedCount": 1
}
> db.test.find() //find on "test" collection
{
"_id": ObjectId("5a0bcfa4322032cfcc3a69c6"),
"a": 2
}
> db.test.deleteOne({a:2}) //delete from "test" collection
{
"acknowledged": true,
"deletedCount": 1
}
> db.test.drop() //try to drop "test" collection
2017-11-15T16:32:07.715+1100 E QUERY [thread1] Error: drop failed: {
"ok": 0,
"errmsg": "not authorized on test to execute command { drop: \"test\" }",
"code": 13,
"codeName": "Unauthorized"
}
I found that the new custom role (testRole) is authorized correctly. This is using MongoDB 3.4.10.

mongodb authorization exception in JMeter : code13

In MongoDB 3.2 I've setup a user with rights:
db.createUser(
{
user: "username",
pwd: "pass",
roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "dbname" }]
}
)
db.auth("username", "pass" )
When I use the JMeter(2.13) to connect to the database (using Jmeter's elements MongoDB Source Config , MongoDB Script) and run a query like this:
db.mycollectionname.find()
I get this error:
error: { "$err" : "not authorized on dbname to execute command { $eval: \"db.mycollectionname.find()\", args: [] }" , "code" : 13}
While I have provided all the necessary details Server Address List , Database , User , Password to Jmeter's MongoDB Source Config , MongoDB Script respectively.
Any ideas what can be happening?
I had the same issue. I had to set up a user with eval permissions even though this is not recommended (even the admin user does not have these permissions).
Try that and change you script to look at the new user and it should work.

create admin with "dbAdminAnyDatabse" role with mongodb v2.4.8

I have create an admin user for my mongo installation as follow:
> use admin
> db.addUser( { user: "test",
pwd: "password",
roles: [ "dbAdminAnyDatabse",
otherDBRoles:
{
"otherTestDB": [ "readWrite" ]
}]
} )
When I try to connect to "otherTestDB" using user: "test" and pwd: "password" with robomongo or java driver i get a wrong authentication error.
where mistake?
You have created a userid for the admin db, so to use that userid you have to connect to the admin db, not the otherTestDB. The otherDBRoles document controls access to other dbs while connected to the admin db as that user. So with the addUser as you have specified it the following command fails because the user is for the admin db, not for the otherTestDB:
$ mongo otherTestDB --username test --password password --eval 'printjson(db.c.findOne())'
connecting to: otherTestDB
Thu Feb 27 10:45:20.722 Error: 18 { code: 18, ok: 0.0, errmsg: "auth fails" } at src/mongo/shell/db.js:228
whereas the following command, which connects to the admin db and then uses otherTestDB via getSiblingDB, succeeds:
$ mongo admin --username test --password password --eval 'printjson(db.getSiblingDB("otherTestDB").c.findOne())'
connecting to: admin
{ "_id" : ObjectId("530f5d904dbd43cfb46aab5b"), "hello" : "world" }
If you want a user that can authenticate when connecting to the otherTestDB with that userid and password, you will need to separately add such a user to the otherTestDB.
Does this help?

Create Read only user in Mongo DB Instance for a particular database

I have created a user "mongo01testro" in the mongo01test database.
use mongo01test
db.addUser( "mongo01testro", "pwd01", true );
db.system.users.find();
{ "_id" : ObjectId("53xyz"), "user" : "mongo01testro", "readOnly" : true, "pwd" : "b9eel61" }
When I logged in from another session as this newly created user,
I am able to insert documents into the collection which is strange.
I am looking to do the following:
Create 2 separate users one for read only and one for read write for
each database.
Create an admin user which have sysadmin/dba access to all the
databases in MongoDB instance used for Backup/Recovery or admin
purpose.
Please kindly help.

Parag
You forgot --auth to enable
Create Users
// ensure that we have new db, no roles, no users
use products
db.dropDatabase()
// create admin user
use products
db.createUser({
"user": "prod-admin",
"pwd": "prod-admin",
"roles": [
{"role": "clusterAdmin", "db": "admin" },
{"role": "readAnyDatabase", "db": "admin" },
"readWrite"
]},
{ "w": "majority" , "wtimeout": 5000 }
)
// login via admin acont in order to create readonly user
// mongo --username=prod-admin --password=prod-admin products
db.createUser({
"user": "prod-r",
"pwd": "prod-r",
"roles": ["read"]
})
Enable auth:
sudo vim /etc/mongod.conf # edit file
# Turn on/off security. Off is currently the default
#noauth = true
auth = true
sudo service mongod restart # reload configuiration
Check write restriction:
# check if write operation for readonly user
$ mongo --username=prod-r --password=prod-r products
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.4
connecting to: products
> db.laptop.insert({"name": "HP"})
WriteResult({
"writeError" : {
"code" : 13,
"errmsg" : "not authorized on products to execute command { insert: \"laptop\", documents: [ { _id: ObjectId('53ecb7115f0bfc61d8b1113e'), name: \"HP\" } ], ordered: true }"
}
})
# check write operation for admin user
$ mongo --username=prod-admin --password=prod-admin products
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.4
connecting to: products
> db.laptop.insert({"name": "HP"})
WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })
# check read operation for readonly user
$ mongo --username=prod-r --password=prod-r products
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.4
connecting to: products
> db.laptop.findOne()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("53ecb54798da304f99625d05"), "name" : "HP" }
MongoDB changed the way it handles users in versions >= 2.2 and 2.6 and if you are updating mongodb you will have to Upgrade User Authorization Data to 2.6 Format.
In versions < 2.2 (legacy) you use the db.addUser(username, password, readOnly) function as #Hüseyin BABAL suggested. If you are using version > 2.2 or 2.6 you have a lot more control over what you can do with roles and privileges.
So assuming you use mongo v > 2.6 you can create something like:
use admin
db.createUser({
user: "myUsername",
pwd: "mypwd",
roles: [{
role: "userAdminAnyDatabase",
db: "admin"
}]
})
db.addUser({
user: "username",
pwd: "password",
roles: [{
role: "readWrite",
db: "myDBName"
}]
})
You can use the Build in Roles or you can even create custom roles.
So as you can see you clearly have a lot more options when using v > 2.6 when it comes to authentication and role management.
if the Access control is enabled on the MongoDB deployment, Then you should login by authenticating to the relevant database with admin user (or user with userAdmin role) which you want to control the access. to do that
mongo <db_name> -u <user_name> -p <user_password>
ex: mongo mongo01test -u admin -p admin_paaswrod
then execute the following query to create a read only user for current connected database,
db.createUser({user:"user_name",pwd:"password",roles:[{role:"read", db:"db_name"}]});
ex:db.createUser({user:"user_rd",pwd:"password",roles:[{role:"read", db:"mongo01test"}]});
create a user with both readWrite access,
db.createUser({user:"user_name",pwd:"password",roles:[{role:"readWrite", db:"db_name"}]});
ex:db.createUser({user:"user_rw",pwd:"pass_rw",roles:[{role:"readWrite", db:"mongo01test"}]});
to create a user with admin privileges,
use admin;
db.createUser({user:"admin_user_name",pwd:"password", roles:[{role:"dbAdmin", db:"admin"},{role:"readWriteAnyDatabase", db:"admin"},{role:"backup", db:"admin"},{role:"restore", db:"admin"}]});
Here is my scneario;
// Create admin user
use admin
db.addUser('root', 'strong_password');
// Read only user
use dbforuser1
db.addUser('user1', 'user1_pass', true);
// Read / Write access
use dbforuser2
db.addUser('user2', 'user2_pass');
If you want to login to dbforuser1
use dbforuser1
db.auth('user1', 'user1_pass')
