## Adding a user / database
|
||||
|
||||
1. Connect to MongoDB, so that we can create a user. Run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mongo -u admin -p --authenticationDatabase admin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will ask you for the password that you set earlier in the Securing MongoDB section.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Switch to the database that you want to add a user to eg: `forum`. Run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
use forum
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create a user. Make sure to change the `db` to match the database used above. Run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
db.createUser(
|
||||
{
|
||||
user: "forum",
|
||||
pwd: "SET ME", # Generate a random string with: openssl rand -base64 32 | cut -c1-32
|
||||
roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "forum" } ]
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Exit the mongo shell. Run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You have now created a user for the `forum` database. You can repeat this process for any other databases that you want to create users for.
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional: Allowing remote connections

||||
