💼 [DMS.11] DMS endpoints for MongoDB should have an authentication mechanism enabled

  • Contextual name: 💼 [DMS.11] DMS endpoints for MongoDB should have an authentication mechanism enabled

  • ID: /frameworks/aws-fsbp-v1.0.0/dms/11

  • Located in: 💼 Database Migration Service (DMS)

Description​

AWS Database Migration Service supports two authentications methods for MongoDB — MONGODB-CR for MongoDB version 2.x, and SCRAM-SHA-1 for MongoDB version 3.x or later. These authentication methods are used to authenticate and encrypt MongoDB passwords if users want to use the passwords to access the databases. Authentication on AWS DMS endpoints ensures that only authorized users can access and modify the data being migrated between databases. Without proper authentication, unauthorized users may be able to gain access to sensitive data during the migration process. This can result in data breaches, data loss, or other security incidents.
