Authentication error security

Ops and Admin

Good morning
I enabled mongo authentication by editing the /etc/mongod.conf file by adding the following piece

security:
authorization: enabled

Because every time I reboot the machine I have to run the following command mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf
otherwise the authentication doesn’t work?

What’s wrong?

Thanks Alessio

I think you are starting your mongod manually
If you want the changes effect everytime you reboot you have to run your mongod as a service

You enabled it but did you start?
sudo systemctl start mongod
Then check status
Before starting the service make sure you don’t have any mongod running which you might have started from command line
