Needs support for authentication #5

Open lexi-lambda opened 9 years ago

lexi-lambda commented 9 years ago

It doesn't appear that this supports any form of authentication with Mongo? All drivers should implement an authentication mechanism using the standard Connection String URI Format.

I've hand-rolled the authentication handshake myself using MONGODB-CR authentication method, but that is no longer sufficient. It has been deprecated and replaced with the more complicated SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication method with MongoDB 3.0.0, so it would be a good idea to implement that.

I'm not using mongodb anymore, so I have no intention of changing the code. I wrote this back around MongoDB 1.7 and haven't really touched it since. I'm happy to merge any pull requests or directly add you as a contributor.

Yep, that's fine—I think I talked to you about this package a long time ago, and you told me that then. I have a stub implementation of the new auth method, and if I finish it, I'll open a pull request. I'm mostly just leaving this issue here for documentation's sake.

Any chance we could write a new mongodb package? For some reason im not able to get a list of collections of any of the databases I have.

I think this package could really use a maintainer, so if you’re interested, feel free. :wink: I tried to update it to work with the Mongo DB 3 SCRAM-SHA-1 auth scheme, but it’s really poorly documented, and I had trouble getting it to work. I haven’t completely given up on it, but it’s difficult enough that I’m unlikely to do it without a good chunk of free time and a good reason to do it.
