| User Permissions Needed |                                                             |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| To create a connection: | System Admin profile or Data Cloud Architect permission set |

Before you begin:

- Enable the Beta connector through the feature manager. See [Enable Data 360 Features](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_feature_manager.htm&type=5).
- Verify your admin has enabled firewalls on the system you want Data 360 to connect to by including these [IP addresses](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_cloud_ip_address_allowlist.htm&type=5) to your allowlists.

1.  In Data Cloud, click **Setup**, and select **Data Cloud Setup**.

2.  Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.

3.  Click **New**.

4.  On the Source tab, select **MongoDB** and click **Next**.

5.  Enter a connection name, connection API name, and provide the authentication and connection details.

6.  For Authentication Details, provide the username and password credentials.

7.  For Connection Details, provide the URL, database, port, AuthDatabase, ReplicaSet and DNSServer.

    1.  Provide the connection URL. For on-premise, enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), otherwise enter the MongoDB Atlas URL.

    2.  For Database, provide the schema within the database server.

    3.  For Port, enter the port that the server is running on. The default is 27017, but it can be changed.

    4.  For AuthDatabase, enter the database where your user data (username/password) is stored.

    5.  For ReplicaSet, enter the FQDN. The FQDN is the replica of the database server.

    6.  Provide the DNSServer. For on-premise, enter the DNS entries for the database server.

    **note:** To learn more about connecting to MongoDB, review the [MongoDB Manual](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/).

8.  To review your configuration, click **Test Connection**.

9.  Click **Save**.

After the connector details are accepted, the connection is created and listed under Connectors. You can now create data streams.
