Install Search With External MongoDB Enterprise Edition

Log in to the Cloud Manager or Ops Manager UI and perform the following steps to configure Cloud Manager or Ops Manager for MongoDB Search and Vector Search.

You must create a user with the searchCoordinator role. In MongoDB versions 8.2 and later, searchCoordinator is a built-in role.

To create the user and assign them the built-in searchCoordinator role, complete the following steps using either the Cloud Manager or Ops Manager UI or the mongosh:

use admin;

db.createUser({
   user: "search-sync-source",
   pwd: "<PASSWORD>", // Replace with your actual password
   roles: [
      { role: "searchCoordinator", db: "admin" }
   ]
});

Prepare your environment to run the sample code in this tutorial in a terminal.

Configure your Kubernetes cluster for MongoDB Search and Vector Search.

Configure TLS certificates for your Kubernetes cluster.
