Authenticating Mongo

gistfile1.txt

1. mongo
2. use <your-database-name-here>
3. db.addUser('pawel','test')
4. exit
5. vim /etc/mongodb.conf     uncomment the line '#auth=true'
6. sudo service mongodb stop
7. sudo service mongodb start
7.5 Run your application as it is now and verify that it fails since it is missing authentication.
8. in your python code add: db.authenticate('pawel','test')
9. sudo service apache2 restart
10. SHOULD BE DONE!

Note: In order to add another user and you forgot admin password undo line 5, add user, and repeat these steps.
