I am transferring MongoDB databases from one server to another. The servers cannot talk to each other, so I must use mongodump/mongorestore. The 'from' server used authentication for the databases. The 'to' server is in a secure environment, so I'd like to completely obliterate any security/authentication features from the database. Is it as simple as just deleting the *users

Yes, just
db.system.users.remove({});for each database.It seems a bit harder to drop the
system.userscollection, see: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-4302 but it shouldn't hurt anything if it's empty.The authentication part is enabled when you run
mongodwith-auth, so don't put that in your startup script or config file (comment outauth=true, or putauth=falseif you're running 2.0+).
