Accessing Instance Without Authentication
Overview
Auth-free access allows you to access your TencentDB instance quickly and efficiently, but it also exposes your instance to security threats. We recommend that you enable this feature only in test or maintenance scenarios and disable it during routine business operations.
Version Description
Currently, TencentDB for MongoDB versions 3.6, 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 5.0, and 6.0 support auth-free access.
Note
Upgrading to the auth-free access version involves kernel upgrade and momentary disconnections.
Enabling auth-free access will require the instance to restart. It is advisable to enable this feature during off-peak hours.
