      Please provide the ability to lock/disable and unlock/enable a user account.

      The user can login

      $ mongo test -u author -p pass
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.8
connecting to: test
>

      Now admin locks/disables the user

      > db.lockUser("author")

      The user can't login

      $ mongo test -u author -p pass
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.8
connecting to: test

      Unlock the user

      > db.unlockUser("author")

      And now author can login again

      $ mongo test -u author -p pass
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.8
