I firstly installed MongoDB 3.4.1 today.But when i start it and use MongoDB shell, it gave me these warnings below:
C:\Users\hs>"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongo.exe
MongoDB shell version v3.4.1
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017
MongoDB server version: 3.4.1
Server has startup warnings:

Mongodb v3.4
You need to do the following to create a secure database:
Make sure the user starting the process has permissions and that the directories exist (/data/db
in this case).
1) Start MongoDB without access control.
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db
2) Connect to the instance.
mongo --port 27017
3) Create the user administrator (in the admin authentication database).
use admin
db.createUser(
{
user: "myUserAdmin",
pwd: "abc123",
roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
}
)
4) Re-start the MongoDB instance with access control.
mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db
5) Connect and authenticate as the user administrator.
mongo --port 27017 -u "myUserAdmin" -p "abc123" --authenticationDatabase "admin"
6) Create additional users as needed for your deployment (e.g. in the test authentication database).
use test
db.createUser(
{
user: "myTester",
pwd: "xyz123",
roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "test" },
{ role: "read", db: "reporting" } ]
}
)
7) Connect and authenticate as myTester.
mongo --port 27017 -u "myTester" -p "xyz123" --authenticationDatabase "test"
I basically just explained the short version of the official docs here: https://docs.mongodb.com/master/tutorial/enable-authentication/
You haven't configure the security features in Mongodb like authorization and authentication. You can ignore this if you are going to learn Mongodb. But when the product is going to production level. you should concern them. You can enable access control by using mongod --auth.
For example you can run mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db1
. After that, you can secure your database with username and password.
You can add user in database using following command:
use admin
db.auth("myUserAdmin", "abc123" )
After that you can use
mongo --port 27017 -u "myUserAdmin" -p "abc123" --authenticationDatabase "admin"
to connect to the database.
You can add bind_ip in mongod.conf as follows,
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1,192.168.161.100
You can define many if you need. This bind_ip option tells MongoDB to accept connections from which local network interfaces, not which “remote IP address”. And run mongod --config <file path to your mongod.conf>
Altogether you can run mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db1 --config <file path to your mongod.conf>
