MongoDB 7: Authentication, Connection Strings, and mongodump Backups

Enable authentication on your MongoDB service, create an application user, build the right connection string, and set up regular backups.

MongoDB's most dangerous default is that authentication can be off. An internet-facing MongoDB with no password is found by scanning bots within minutes; this has been one of the most common data-breach scenarios for years. So the first thing to do is create an admin user and require authentication.

Turning on authentication#

mongosh
// admin veritabanina gec
use admin

// Yonetici kullanicisi
db.createUser({
  user: "yonetici",
  pwd: passwordPrompt(),
  roles: [{ role: "root", db: "admin" }]
})

// Uygulama icin ayri kullanici: yalnizca kendi veritabaninda yetkili
use uygulama_db
db.createUser({
  user: "uygulama",
  pwd: passwordPrompt(),
  roles: [{ role: "readWrite", db: "uygulama_db" }]
})

Building the right connection string#

Bağlantı dizesi
# authSource, kullanicinin TANIMLANDIGI veritabanidir;
# baglanacaginiz veritabani ile ayni olmak zorunda degil.
mongodb://uygulama:[email protected]:27017/uygulama_db?authSource=uygulama_db

# Yonetici kullanicisiyla baglanirken:
mongodb://yonetici:[email protected]:27017/?authSource=admin

Backing up with mongodump#

Yerel terminal
mongodump \
  --uri="mongodb://uygulama:[email protected]:27017/uygulama_db?authSource=uygulama_db" \
  --gzip --archive=yedek_$(date +%F).gz

Append ?authSource=<db where the user was created> to the connection string.

Síntoma

Set bindIp to 0.0.0.0 in the service configuration and make sure authentication is enabled.
