Mongodb Authentication

[jiahaochua]

Hi,

I've been trying to setup OpenHIM and test it for potential production use in the future, and one thing that I noticed is that it uses the default Mongodb configuration with no authentication for mongodb. Could I check if OpenHIM is able to support authenticated access to mongodb, and if so how I should set it up?

Thanks,
Jiahao

HI, you can use auth to connect to mongo by editing the connection string - https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/

The connection string can be set in the OpenHIM config or via the env variable mongo_url. Hope that is what you are looking for.
