Now let's see about enabling access control,
0:03
we're going to connect to the shell like we have been,
0:05
again specifying the extra things like ssl, import and so on,
0:08
we're going to say use the admin database
0:11
and then we want to create a user, I set the user to pwd
0:13
and do not forget the roles this is very important.
0:17
Once we've done this, this doesn't magically make authentication work,
0:20
we have to go over to our Mongo config
0:22
and say security authorization is enabled, then we want to talk to it,
0:27
we can now pass the port, the, ssl stuff,
0:32
the users, the user name, the password- p password
0:35
and authentication database is admin, don't forget that, it doesn't work without it.
0:40
At this point, you've basically set up your MongoDB in a safe way
0:43
the final thing that you might consider,
0:46
and it depends on how you want to run your database and so on,
0:49
and you might set up a replica set to have failover
0:52
and multi machine redundancy and things like that,
0:55
that's certainly a next step that you could take
0:58
but it's beyond the scope of this course so check out the docs.
