v0.4 - MongoDB adapter: Authentication does not work

[tbjers]

Since the MongoDB adapter switched from using mongodb-wrapper to the native mongodb driver, authentication has stopped working. The init method on the mongodb adapter does not set the authentication properly:

  this.init = function () {
    var config = this.config
      , server = new mongo.Server(config.host, config.port);
    this.client = new mongo.MongoClient(server, config);
  };

http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/api-generated/mongoclient.html

The MongoDB native library does not support passing in authentication in a hash, and requires a connection string instead.

http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/driver-articles/mongoclient.html

So we need to generate a connect string, or switch back to using mongodb-wrapper.

Any thoughts?

I figured the easiest way to do this would be to supply a url parameter with the configuration and use that in .init()

Sounds like we need to switch to a connection string -- shouldn't be too hard to take the config object and generate a URL from it. Could you take a stab at doing that?

Sure thing! What branch do you want me to work in? On Nov 16, 2013 2:45 PM, "Matthew Eernisse" notifications@github.com wrote:
