I just started today to learn MongoDB. After installing compass I searched for a way to create a new database and add a username and password for it, but there is no such thing. I also searched online but only found this here which describes how to do it in the command line, but I want to do it from compass, is this not possible?
I mention that I need it to configure a spring boot application.properties file on the localhost by giving the user and password like here:
#Local MongoDB config
spring.data.mongodb.authentication-database=admin
spring.data.mongodb.username=root
spring.data.mongodb.password=root
spring.data.mongodb.database=user_db
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017
spring.data.mongodb.host=localhost
I want to connect to the mongodb similar to how one connects to MySQL. Is this possible? can you please help me do that? Any help provided will be greatly appreciated!
