Python driver (pymongo) changeUserPassword() implementation

[Михаил Толмачев]

Hello! Is there in pymongo 2.6.3 implementation of function db.changeUserPassword() that required for mongodb >= 2.4 (my case is 2.4.8)?

Pymongo API documentation contain only addUser() function, that can not anymore update users's password.

How can I change user's password from my python script?

You can still use add_user to change the user's password:

>>> import pymongo

>>> c = pymongo.MongoClient()

>>> c.server_info()['version']

u'2.4.8'

>>> 

>>> pymongo.version

'2.6.3'

>>> 

>>> c.admin.add_user('admin', 'pass')

>>> c.admin.authenticate('admin', 'pass')

True

>>> c.admin.add_user('admin', 'newpass')

>>> c.admin.logout()

>>> c.admin.authenticate('admin', 'newpass')

True

What problem are you having?

I am sorry! I was used db.addUser ( { } ) form from my script and got error, and now I see that there is add_user() form. Thank you.

Hey Bernie,

In the shell, prior to 2.4, addUser was used to both add new users as well as to change user passwords.

In 2.4, if you have a user with roles granted, you need to use the changeUserPassword helper to change the password otherwise you get a duplicate key violation exception.

Are there any plans to add a change_user_password function in pymongo?  I know it's a lot easier for me to remember if I do things the same way in all my tools.

Actually, I just filed an improvement ticket as well ( PYTHON-597 ).

Thanks!

See my response in PYTHON-597. You can use add_user to change a user password with PyMongo, even in MongoDB 2.4.8, even if they have roles. You can even change their roles. I put a few examples in the ticket.
