MongoDB, a cross-platform document-oriented database. Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.<\/p>\n

Here I am going to explain how to apply user-name and password(authenticate) to mongoDB’s database.<\/p>\n

<\/span>#1. Open shell command. Fire this command<\/span><\/h3>\n

command – mongo
\noutput-
\nMongoDB shell version: 3.0.4
\nconnecting to: test<\/p>\n

<\/span>#2.<\/span><\/h3>\n

command – show dbs;
\noutput-
\nadmin 0.078GB
\nlocal 0.078GB
\nauth_db 0.078GB<\/p>\n

<\/span>#3.<\/span><\/h3>\n

command – use auth_db;
\noutput-
\nswitched to auth_db<\/p>\n

Here, we have selected auth_db Database for apply authentication.<\/p>\n

<\/span>#4. Fire query :<\/span><\/h3>\n

db.createUser({user:”YOUR_USERNAME”, pwd:”YOUR_PWD”,roles:[“readWrite”,”dbAdmin”]})<\/p>\n

We have created User of database ‘auth_db’. You can set your user-name and password to above query.<\/p>\n

Make sure authentication is true. You can set authentication = true in MongoDB.conf file.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Option 1:<\/strong> In mongod.conf, Remove comment and make it true.
    \nauth=true;- restart mongoDB – sudo service mongod restart<\/li>\n
  • Option 2 :<\/strong> command to run mongodb with auth true :- mongod -auth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/span>#5. In database config files in Nodejs<\/span><\/h3>\n

    var mongoose = require('mongoose');
    \nvar uri = 'mongodb:\/\/localhost:27017\/auth_db';
    \nvar options = {
    \nuser: 'YOUR_USERNAME',
    \npass: 'YOUR_PWD'
    \n}
    \nmongoose.connect(uri, options, function(err, result){
    \nconsole.log('err -->' + JSON.stringify(err));
    \n});
    \n<\/code><\/p>\n

    Without user-name and password, would not able to perform an operation with the database. If you don’t want to use authentication to database just make auth=true is commented in MongoDB.conf file or start mongo without -auth i.e mongo . Please do not forget restart MongoDB.<\/p>\n

    You can drop a comment for any questions or feedback. We Will get back to you soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
