When I edit to config file to restrict access only with authentication things go wrong. What happens:
1
1. I uncomment "#auth = true" in the config file.
2. I cannot access with the correct credentials of the "admin" account.

Bear in mind that I do use "service mongod restart" after making changes.

1. Did you follow the instructions in Enable Client Access Control to create the user and enable
authentication?
2 2. What is the output of your log, when you try to access mongoDB with credentials?
3. Did you tell mongoDB somewhere to use the config file? Try to start mongoDB locally on the PC
mongoDB is running with mongod --config ../etc/mongod.conf and then try to connect from
your Windows PC like you did before.
