| Description |
|
MongoDB 2.6 will integrate LDAP authentication, allowing users to authenticate in MongoDB through a call to LDAP. MongoDB 2.6, however, will not automate syncing of MongoDB user and role mappings between MongoDB and LDAP; customers will still have to manually update user credentials within MongoDB. To simplify this, MongoDB will provide a sample script that will allow users to synch changes made to LDAP user and role mappings with their corresponding definitions in MongoDB. The script will be provided to work with a simple LDAP hierarchy that defines a MongoDB group and underlying users: LDAP Organization - acme Users can then customize to meet their specific LDAP structures or requirements. Functional requirements and proposed test plan is here: |

Attached are an example of the hierarchy within LDAP that we suggest for making the synchronisation script. |

The functional requirement is still open for discussion, but I think we need to make these assumptions:
I will set up call to discuss. |
