Enabling MongoDB authentication

You need to enable MongoDB authentication for the Digital Assets Management (DAM) and Machine learning features.

1. In the MongoDB console, create a user having following role and access by using the following command.
   MongoDB 7.0

   >mongosh
   use admin;
   db.createUser(
     {
       user: "<username>",
       pwd: "<password>",
       roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" }, "readWriteAnyDatabase" ]
     }
   )

   MongoDB 4.0.25 and earlier

   >mongo
   use admin;
   db.createUser(
     {
       user: "<username>",
       pwd: "<password>",
       roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" }, "readWriteAnyDatabase" ]
     }
   )

2. Open MongoDB configuration file by using the following command.

   vi /etc/mongod.conf

3. In the mongod.conf file, edit the value of the following property.

   security:
       authorization: enabled

4. Quit the MongoDB shell by pressing, Ctrl + C and then restart the MongoDB using the following command.

   service mongod restart

5. In env_settings.ini file, specify the value of the following properties using the values specified in the step 1.

   mmongodb_username=
   mongodb_password=
   mongodb_database=

6. Run the configureEnv.sh script with the -ov option. The specified values get copied to the dam.properties, common.properties, and ml_configuration.ini files.
7. Optional: If you do not want to run the configureEnv.sh script with the -ov option. You can manually update the dam.properties, common.properties, and ml_configuration.ini file as follows.
   1. Run the following command to encrypt the password specified in the step 1.

      $JAVA_RT com.ibm.ccd.common.generate.config.DBEncryptionUtils -encrypt --password=<password> 

   2. Copy and paste the MongoDB credentials in all the three files.
8. Restart IBM® Product Master services.
