2. Edit the following perameters to match these settings.
  - WARNING: do not use the TAB key while editing the file - use only spaces.

Network Interfaces section:
------------------------------
# network interfaces
  net:
  port: 27017
  bindIp: 0.0.0.0

{Note: the bindip setting is an all or nothing setting: you either have all access (0.0.0.0 as the ip) or none (127.0.0.1 - AKA localhost which is the loopback ipaddress in which the Mongo Database only listens internally for data to read). MongoDB after v3.6 has the setting as the localhost, all previous versions had All available. In this change we are changing the setting to accept all inputs to MongoDb.}

Process Management section:
------------------------------
#processManagement:
security:
  authorization: "enabled"

3. Restart the Mongodb service before proceeding with installation steps.
