About the credential configuration file
The credential configuration file is required for authentication. You can create this file at any location and use the path when you add the MongoDB node credentials.
Add the credentials of the MongoDB node using the tpconfig command for the application server that is specified in the Clients tab in the backup policy.
Multiple MongoDB nodes must be separated using a comma.
For sharded MongoDB cluster, add all the mongod and mongos ports in the following format:
mongod_hostname:mongod_port
mongos_hostname:mongos_port
For replica set MongoDB cluster and standalone MongoDB cluster, add the mongod port in the following format:
mongod_hostname:mongod_port
Refer to the following sample credential file that contains all the authentication types:
