Connecting to mongodb using Python API and username:password

[Sandra Arnold]

I was looking at the documentation for connecting to a MongoDB using the Python API and cannot find the correct syntax to connect when a username and password is required to connect.  Can you please point me to documentation that would have an example?

 

Thanks,

Sandra Arnold

Sandra,

Authentication is performed at the database level, so something like:

>>> import pymongo

>>> c = pymongo.Connection()

>>> username = 'theuser'

>>> password = 'mypssword'

>>> c['admin'].authenticate( username, password)

True

>>> c['admin'].system.users.find_one({},{'user':1})

{u'_id': ObjectId('5194fd272993fb506a05d5b0'), u'user': u'theuser'}

You can also pass credentials in the URI:

uri = "mongodb://username:pass...@example.com:27017"

c = pymongo.MongoClient(uri)

Thanks.  As soon as we get Tornado and Phython installed on the server, I will attempt to connect using what you have posted.  In the meantime, I plan to document in my Procedures that I am developing for MongoDB.
