Example Deployment CRD

Example User CRD

The Kubernetes Operator supports X.509, LDAP, and SCRAM user authentication.

Note

For LDAP configuration, see the spec.security.authentication.agents.automationLdapGroupDN setting.

You must create an additional CustomResourceDefinition for your MongoDB users and the MongoDB Agent instances. The Kubernetes Operator generates and distributes the certificate.

See the full X.509 certificates configuration examples in the x509 Authentication directory in the Authentication samples directory. This directory also contains sample LDAP and SCRAM configurations.

Example Deployment CRD

1 apiVersion: mongodb.com/v1
2 kind: MongoDB
3 metadata:
4   name: my-tls-enabled-rs
5 spec:
6   type: ReplicaSet
7   members: 3
8   version: "4.0.4-ent"
9   opsManager:
10     configMapRef:
11       name: my-configmap-name
12   credentials: my-credentials
13   security:
14     tls:
15       enabled: true
16     authentication:
17       enabled: true
18       modes: ["X509"]
19       internalCluster: "X509"

Example User CRD

1 apiVersion: mongodb.com/v1
2 kind: MongoDBUser
3 metadata:
4   name: user-with-roles
5 spec:
6   username: "CN=mms-user-1,OU=cloud,O=MongoDB,L=New York,ST=New York,C=US"
7   db: "$external"
8   mongodbResourceRef:
9     name: my-resource
