Authentication
If MongoDB is started with the –auth or
–keyFile options, you must authenticate before you can do
any operations with the driver. You may authenticate a connection
by specifying the username and password in either the connection
URI or the “username” and “password” options for
MongoClient::__construct().
Example #1 Authenticating against the “admin”
database
<?php
// Specifying the username and password in the connection URI (preferred)
$m = new MongoClient("mongodb://${username}:${password}@localhost");
// Specifying the username and password via the options array (alternative)
$m = new MongoClient("mongodb://localhost", array("username" => $username, "password" => $password));
?>By default, the driver will authenticate against
the admin database. You may authenticate against a
different database by specifying it in either the connection URI or
the “db” option for MongoClient::__construct().
Example #2 Authenticating against normal
databases
<?php
// Specifying the authentication database in the connection URI (preferred)
$m = new MongoClient("mongodb://${username}:${password}@localhost/myDatabase");
// Specifying the authentication database via the options array (alternative)
$m = new MongoClient("mongodb://${username}:${password}@localhost", array("db" => "myDatabase"));
?>If your connection is dropped, the driver will
automatically attempt to reconnect and reauthenticate you.
