MongoDB::authenticate — Log in to this database
This method causes its connection to be authenticated. If authentication is enabled for the database server (it's not, by default), you need to log in before the database will allow you to do anything.
This method is identical to running:
<?php
$salted = "${username}:mongo:${password}";
$hash = md5($salted);
$nonce = $db->command(array("getnonce" => 1));
$saltedHash = md5($nonce["nonce"]."${username}${hash}");
$result = $db->command(array("authenticate" => 1,
"user" => $username,
"nonce" => $nonce["nonce"],
"key" => $saltedHash);
?>
Once a connection has been authenticated, it can only be un-authenticated by using the "logout" database command:
<?php
$db->command(array("logout" => 1));
?>
The username.
The password (in plaintext).
Returns database response. If the login was successful, it will return
array("ok" => 1)
array("ok" => 0, "errmsg" => "auth fails")
