## Examples

|
|
|
The following example shows how to connect to a target with the ID `ttcp_eTcMueUYv` using a MongoDB helper:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ boundary connect mongo -target-id=ttcp_eTcZMueUYv \
|
|
-dbname=northwind \
|
|
-username=superuser \
|
|
-authentication-database=admin \
|
|
-format=table
|
|
```
|
|
|

### MongoDB options:
|
|
|
|
- `-dbname` `(string: "")` - The database name you want to pass through to the client.
|
|
You can also specify the database name using the **BOUNDARY_CONNECT_DBNAME** environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- `-style` `(string: "mongosh")` - How the CLI attempts to invoke a MongoDB client.
|
|
This value also sets a suitable default for `-exec`, if you did not specify a value.
|
|
The default and currently-understood value is `mongosh`.
|
|
You can also specify how the CLI attempts to invoke a MongoDB client using the **BOUNDARY_CONNECT_MONGO_STYLE** environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- `-username` `(string: "")` - The username you want to pass through to the client.
|
|
This value may be overridden by credentials sourced from a credential store.
|
|
You can also specify a username using the **BOUNDARY_CONNECT_USERNAME** environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- `-authentication-database` `(string: "")` - The authentication database for MongoDB.
|
|
If omitted, mongosh defaults `authSource` to the database name (`-dbname`). If no database is specified, it defaults to `admin`.
|
|
You can also specify the authentication database using the **BOUNDARY_CONNECT_MONGO_AUTHENTICATION_DATABASE** environment variable.
