 Description   

While we have a way for enabling authentication on Replica Sets and Sharded Clusters without any down time in MongoDB 3.4+, we do not have that option currently for Standalone hosts.

This is particularly important in the case of hosts running with the InMemory Storage Engine, because they have to reload all the information in the database, incurring in a much larger downtime than other storage engines.

Standalone deployments are not highly available by design.  Use replica sets for highly available deployments.
