Password Storage from MD5 to SHA-256

[jayant]

Is it possible to use SHA-256 to store password for users created in mongodb instead of MD5.?

Hi Jayant,

This is currently not possible, however, please have a look at theJIRA feature requests for upcoming versons as it covers the authentication changes planned for 2.3/2.4:

• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-7115
  

As you are specifically referring to local authentication, the ticket below is probably the closest to your specific request. Can you please update it with your request and vote for the feature.

• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-6977

Thanks

Mark
