Connect and authenticate

# connect
mongo mongodb://localhost:27017
# alias
mongo

# connect and authenticate, use an environment variable to hide the password
mongo "mongodb://user:${DBPASSWORD}@<host>:<port>/admin?authSource=admin"

Authenticate

db.auth("username", "pwd")

db.auth("username", passwordPrompt())

Backup and restore

# restore the backup folder dump to the local mongodb instance
mongorestore dump/

don't know what to do with file while restore

This may happen because the mongorestore command point to a backup sub-folder not to the backup folder itself.

Authentication

# create user
use admin
db.createUser(
{
user: "myuser",
pwd: "mypwd",
roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
}
)

/etc/mongod.conf

security:
authorization: "enabled"
