ObjCMongoDB authentication

Question

I'm very new to use ObjCMongoDB; I need to connect to a mongoDB from inside my application so I'm trying to integrate ObjCMongoDB.framework into my project.

I've read the wiki and I didn't find any reference on connecting to a DB with username and password. Maybe I didn't look into enough but the only suggested example of connection is the following:

MongoConnection *dbConn = [MongoConnection connectionForServer:@"127.0.0.1" error:&error];

with no user and no pwd.

Did anyone get into the same problem or is there a method that could be useful? I found that in mongo.c there is mongo_cmd_authenticate but I don't know how to use it.

Any suggestion is really appreciated.

As of this pull request the driver has support for authentication.

NSError *error = nil;

[connection authenticate:@"mydb" username:@"user" password:@"password" error:&error];
