Creating the database for session data storage in MongoDB

You need to create a database for storing session data in MongoDB.

Before you begin

You must have admin rights to be able to create the database.

Create a user in this database, using the following command:

use <databasename>
db.createUser( { user: "<username>", pwd: "<password>",  roles: [ { role: "dbOwner", db: "<databasename>" }  ] } )

The command can take the following fields:

Field	Description
<databasename>	The name of the database for session data storage.
<username>	The name for the created user.
<password>	The password for the created user.

This user must be granted with the dbOwner role to be able to perform any administrative action on the database.

To create a user named session-user with the password suser in the database named sessions, use the following command:

use sessions
db.createUser( { user: "session-user", pwd: "suser",  roles: [ { role: "dbOwner", db: "sessions" }  ] } )
