How to create a user in MongoDB

Question

I'm using the latest version of the driver and MongoDB database 2.6 and I used to create users using the following code:

        MongoUser _user1 = new MongoUser("username", "password", false);

        MongoDatabase.AddUser(_user1);

and now it is saying MongoDatabase.AddUser() is deprecated by showing the following information:

...is obsolete: Use the new user management command 'createUser' or 'updateUser'."

Where is this new user management command? How do I create a user using the new MongoDB C# driver?

Answer 1

I did a search for 'createUser' on the latest code on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-csharp-driver/search?q=createUser&ref=cmdform

At the time of writing, the only reference to 'createUser' is here

The method has been marked as obsolete however in this commit

However; on closer inspection of the code, I see this:

if (_server.RequestConnection.ServerInstance.Supports(FeatureId.UserManagementCommands))
    {
        AddUserWithUserManagementCommands(user);
    }
    else
    {
       AddUserWithInsert(user);
    }

So, it is calling the required method under the hood
