You must first request a database on the MongoDB server. You can do so by emailing ecst@bucknell.edu and explaining a little bit about your project. You will be provided with a username and password that you’ll then use to connect to your MongoDB database.
Here is the primary information you’ll need when connecting to your database:
- MongoDB Version: The MongoDB server is running version 3.x. You’ll need a client that supports the newer authentication mechanism in version 3. For example, if you’re using the mongo shell, you’ll need version >= 3.0.
- Server: eg-mongodb.bucknell.edu
- Username: This will be provided to you when your database is created.
- Password: This will be provided to you when your database is created.
Here’s an example using the mongo shell:
mongo --host eg-mongodb.bucknell.edu -u username -p --authenticationDatabase databasename databasename
