MongoDB configuration backends

MongoDB is a NoSQL database that can be used both for storing configuration and sessions. You need to install Perl MongoDB module to be able to use this backend.

See how to change configuration backend to change your configuration database.

Configuration

Example :

[configuration]

dbName = llConfDB
collectionName = configuration

ssl = 1
; authentication parameters
db_name = admin
user = lluser
password = llpassword
Optional parameters (see MongoDB::MongoClient man page)
