strongDM provides us with central authentication and auditing for all actions against a MongoDB host. With strongDM, we can abstract away usernames and passwords from our developers and allow us, the systems administrator, to keep the master passwords in a safe space under lock and key. It’s that easy! A Safer MongoDB with strongDM Roles are required for a user to access any database, even it’s own Authentication Database! In the example, we grant read to three databases, and readWrite to a fourth. Access to databases is granted with roles.

The username and password are specified as key-value pairs in the document we’re using for our method call. The database that we use will act as the user’s Authentication Database.

In the example above, after connecting to the MongoDB instance, we attach to the reporting database to execute our db.createuser() command. Pwd: passwordPrompt(), // or cleartext password if you wish Using the mongo CLI, also known as the mongo shell, connect to your database with the appropriate admin credentials: Connecting to the Database with the MongoDB Shell If you intend to have a single user with permissions on multiple databases, create a single user with roles in the applicable databases instead of creating the user multiple times in different databases. That is, if two users have the same name but are created in different databases, they are two separate users. The user’s name and authentication database serve as a unique identifier for that user. Unlike traditional SQL databases, MongoDB users are not global, but tied to what is called an Authentication Database. MongoDB provides an internal method, db.createUser(), that is used for creating new users in the system. It uses a JSON-like structure for the documents, which is familiar to anyone working with modern applications. MongoDB is a document-oriented cross-platform database that makes storing and retrieving complex data easy and fast.
