6.7.0 (2024-05-29)

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 6.7.0 of the mongodb package!

Release Notes

Support for MONGODB-OIDC Authentication

MONGODB-OIDC is now supported as an authentication mechanism for MongoDB server versions 7.0+. The currently supported facets to authenticate with are callback authentication, human interaction callback authentication, Azure machine authentication, and GCP machine authentication.

Azure Machine Authentication

The MongoClient must be instantiated with authMechanism=MONGODB-OIDC in the URI or in the client options. Additional required auth mechanism properties of TOKEN_RESOURCE and ENVIRONMENT are required and another optional username can be provided. Example:

const client = new MongoClient('mongodb+srv://<username>@<host>:<port>/?authMechanism=MONGODB-OIDC&authMechanismProperties=TOKEN_RESOURCE:<azure_token>,ENVIRONMENT:azure');
await client.connect();

GCP Machine Authentication

The MongoClient must be instantiated with authMechanism=MONGODB-OIDC in the URI or in the client options. Additional required auth mechanism properties of TOKEN_RESOURCE and ENVIRONMENT are required. Example:

const client = new MongoClient('mongodb+srv://<host>:<port>/?authMechanism=MONGODB-OIDC&authMechanismProperties=TOKEN_RESOURCE:<gcp_token>,ENVIRONMENT:gcp');
await client.connect();

Callback Authentication

The user can provide a custom callback to the MongoClient that returns a valid response with an access token. The callback is provided as an auth mechanism property an has the signature of:

const oidcCallBack = (params: OIDCCallbackParams): Promise<OIDCResponse> => {
  // params.timeoutContext is an AbortSignal that will abort after 30 seconds for non-human and 5 minutes for human.
  // params.version is the current OIDC API version.
  // params.idpInfo is the IdP info returned from the server.
  // params.username is the optional username.

  // Make a call to get a token.
  const token = ...;
  return {
     accessToken: token,
     expiresInSeconds: 300,
     refreshToken: token
  };
}

const client = new MongoClient('mongodb+srv://<host>:<port>/?authMechanism=MONGODB-OIDC', {
  authMechanismProperties: {
    OIDC_CALLBACK: oidcCallback
  }
});
await client.connect();

For callbacks that require human interaction, set the callback to the OIDC_HUMAN_CALLBACK property:

const client = new MongoClient('mongodb+srv://<host>:<port>/?authMechanism=MONGODB-OIDC', {
  authMechanismProperties: {
    OIDC_HUMAN_CALLBACK: oidcCallback
  }
});
await client.connect();

Fixed error when useBigInt64=true was set on Db or MongoClient

Fixed an issue where when setting useBigInt64=true on MongoClients or Dbs an internal function compareTopologyVersion would throw an error when encountering a bigint value.
