Hey,

I've a mongoDB database in a other dedicated server.

So i've put a authentification security.

My question is: Is there a limit of connection attempts?

I think this will be an application business logic issue.

Hello Kwizzy,

As of MongoDB 3.2, there is no feature to limit connection attempts in MongoDB. If your situation permits, it can be implemented in application code. I would recommend reviewing blog post Password Authentication with Mongoose (Part 2): Account Locking for some ideas.

As a best practice, DBA should limit network exposure of database to trusted clients; see MongoDB Security checklist for recommended practices.
