Apache::Session::MongoDB is a faster shareable session backend.
Tip
MongoDB has officially deprecated the Perl driver, so we advice to choose another backend
Attention
Use an up-to-date version of Apache::Session::MongoDB, at least 1.8.1.
Install and launch a MongoDB server. Install Apache::Session::MongoDB Perl module (version ⩾ 0.15 required). You also need a recent version of Perl MongoDB client (version ⩾ 1.00 required).
For Debian, you can install mongodb module and Apache::Session module with:
apt install libmongodb-perl
cpan Apache::Session::MongoDB
For CentOS:
yum install perl-MongoDB
cpan Apache::Session::MongoDB
In the manager: set Apache::Session::MongoDB in General parameters » Sessions » Session storage » Apache::Session module and add the following parameters (case sensitive):
Optional parameters | ||
---|---|---|
Name | Comment | Example |
host | MongoDB server URI | 127.0.0.1:27017 |
db_name | Session database (default: sessions) | llconfdb |
collection | Collection (default: sessions) | sessions |
auth_mechanism | Authentication mechanism | PLAIN |
auth_mechanism_properties | ||

Advanced connection parameters (Replica Sets, timeouts...) may be specified in the host parameter. Refer to the perl MongoDB documentation for details
Restrict network access to the MongoDB server. For remote servers, you can use SOAP session backend in cunjunction to increase security for remote server that access through an unsecure network
