mongodb initialization

 

1. Start MongoDB without access control.

    mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db1
   

2. Connect to the instance.

    mongosh --port 27017
   

3. Create the user administrator.

    use admin
    db.createUser(
      {
        user: "myUserAdmin",
        pwd: passwordPrompt(), // or cleartext password
        roles: [ 
          { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" },
          { role: "readWriteAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } 
        ]
      }
    )
   

4. Re-start the MongoDB instance with access control.

    mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db1

    mongosh --port 27017 --authenticationDatabase "admin"\
        -u "myUserAdmin" -p
