Set Up MongoDB (2.6 and 3) Authentication

1. Create admin user

   use admin
   db.createUser(
       {
           user: "admin",
           pwd: "***",
           roles: [
               { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" },
               "clusterAdmin" // For db.serverStatus()
           ]
       }
   )

2. Enable auth (and disable bind 127... if needed) in /etc/mongod.conf

3. Add user

   mongo -u admin -p --authenticationDatabase admin

   use db
   db.createUser(
       {
         user: "user",
         pwd: "***",
         roles: [
            { role: "dbOwner", db: "db" }
         ]
       }
   )
