Mongo

Securing Mongo

First, start your mongo deamon without authentication.

1. $ mongo admin
2. `db.createUser({ user: 'admin-supreme', pwd: 'a-good-password', roles: [ 'root' ] })
3. use newdatabase
4. `db.createUser({ user: 'nd-supreme', pwd: 'a-good-password', roles: [ 'dbOwner' ] })

Uncomment the line

auth=true

and make sure

noauth=true

is commented out.

Dump

Dumping a database is easy:

$ mongodump -d dbName

With auth:

$ mongodump -d dbName -u dbUser -p

Restore a databse

$ mongorestore -d dbName dump/dbName
