These documents introduce and address concepts and strategies related to security practices in MongoDB deployments.
- Access Control
- Control access to MongoDB instances using authentication and authorization.
- Inter-Process Authentication
- Components of a MongoDB sharded cluster or replica set deployment must be able to authenticate to each other to perform routine internal operations.
- Sharded Cluster Security
- MongoDB controls access to sharded clusters with key files.
- Network Exposure and Security
- Discusses potential security risks related to the network and strategies for decreasing possible network-based attack vectors for MongoDB.
- Security and MongoDB API Interfaces
- Discusses potential risks related to MongoDB’s JavaScript, HTTP and REST interfaces, including strategies to control those risks.
