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
To use a MongoDB backend, configure your lemonldap-ng.ini file (section configuration) :
- Choose MongoDB as type
- Set dbName and collectionName parameters if different than default values (llConfDB and configuration)
- Set host and if needed db_name username, password and ssl fields as follow.
Example :
[configuration] type = MongoDB dbName = llConfDB collectionName = configuration host = 127.0.0.1:27017 ssl = 1 ; authentication parameters db_name = admin user = lluser password = llpassword
| Optional parameters (see MongoDB::MongoClient man page) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Name | Comment | Example |
| db_name | Admin database (default: admin) | admin |
| auth_mechanism | Authentication mechanism | PLAIN |
| auth_mechanism_properties | ||
| connect_timeout | Connection timeout | 10000 |
| ssl | Boolean or hash ref (default: 0) | 1 |
| username | Username to use to connect | lluser |
| password | Password | llpassword |
