[Edit - Also probably worth noting that I have this working perfectly on my local mongodb that does not require a password]

Simply put I haven't seen an example of a working password protected mongodb and eclipselink. Would be nice if this was available.

I tried 3 things


  1. Putting in the password the jdbc way
  2. Placing username:password@hostname as the host
  3. Taking the mongodb prefix for properties and putting .username and .password on the end.
    e.g. eclipselink.nosql.property.mongo.password and eclipselink.nosql.property.mongo.user or .username


it would be great if someone can tell me how to gain access to my password protected mongodb from eclipselink.(I have no way of gaining access without a password, cloudbess is my host which has MongoHQ as a service that hosts my mongodb password protected only.)

Thank you.

I did find this

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=392174

Apparently the way to use a password is
"eclipselink.nosql.property.user"
"eclipselink.nosql.property.password"

but mongodb does not support passwords.

They said the problem is "The issue is that our MongoConnectionSpec support does not make use of these.". And that should be the bug that gets fixed.

I just checked in a fix for this into the development stream. I will try to check it into 2.4 next.

Either "javax.jdbc.user" or "eclipselink.nosql.property.user" will work.

In the current 2.4 release, you should be able to pass a MongoJCAConnectionSpec directly to set the user/password.
Or get the Mongo connection an call authenticate yourself.

Thanks for fixing this, and creating a great product.

I'll try the MongoJCAConnectionSpec thing.
