Question

I am using MongoDB with RockMongo and I want to have the authentication activated. How to “turn it on” or activate it in RockMongo?

Answer 1

There are a few settings in config.php:

//$MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_db"] = "MONGO_DATABASE";//default mongo db to connect, works only if mongo_auth=false
//$MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_user"] = "MONGO_USERNAME";//mongo authentication user name, works only if mongo_auth=false
//$MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_pass"] = "MONGO_PASSWORD";//mongo authentication password, works only if mongo_auth=false
$MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_auth"] = false;//enable mongo authentication?

You can either turn on “mongo authentication” with $MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_auth"] = true, or set defaults with the other three options.
