How to configure MongoDB 3.4 auto start with authentication when OS Ubuntu 16.04 reboot?
I can make this work without authentication but when I add "authorization: enabled" into /etc/mongod.conf, the mongod.service stops working. Please help.

Hi @linaizhong
Add the following to /etc/mongodb.conf (I'm expecting you're using MongoDB 3+)
security:
authorization: enabled
If you already have the security: section, then make sure the second line is indented.
Can you activate logging:
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/configuration-options/#systemLog.path
And then post the log here after you try to start MongoDB again.
Thanks a lot, hansen.

Did you fix your problem, since you marked it as an accepted answer?
If yes, then can you post the solution.
If no, then it looks like your /var/lib/mongodb is not owned by the user/group that runs MongoDB. If your user/group is mongodb then run this to set the permissions for the path:
sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
This problem is solved after changing all file owners to mongodb:mongodb. The files are mongodb.key and files under /var/lib/mongodb. Many thanks to hensen.
