How to enable authentication in MaxScale in MONGO for production?

We have a MariaBD version using MaxScale to use the NoSQL version using MongoDB driver.

However, the connection is made without authentication and so it is possible to create new databases and collections within MaxScale.

How to enable authentication for connection using nosql protocol.

Thank you very much for everyone's attention.

type=listener
service=Read-Write-Service
protocol=nosqlprotocol
nosqlprotocol.user=maxscale
nosqlprotocol.password=password
port=17017
Solution

  • You can require authentication of clients by adding nosqlprotocol.authentication_required=true in the listener configuration.
