Like passwordPrompt() from SERVER-24391, but without disabling echo and with the ability to provide a custom prompt. (Unfortunately it can't be called prompt(), because this is already used as a way of specifying the interactive REPL prompt.)
This would be generally useful in a variety of places. Some examples (not suggesting we necessarily do any of these, but such a function would allow users to build this functionality into their .mongorc, if they wanted):
> db.auth() Enter username: myusername Enter password:
> use mydatabase switched to db mydatabase > db.dropDatabase() ARE YOU SURE? Type the name of the database to continue: no Database name does not match, aborting. > db.dropDatabase() ARE YOU SURE? Type the name of the database to continue: mydatabase { "ok" : 1 }
> safeMode()
Shell safe mode enabled.
> use proddb
switched to db proddb
> db.vital.remove( { foo: "bar" } )
This will remove 18 documents from proddb.vital. Proceed (y/N)? y
WriteResult({ "nRemoved" : 18 })
