Web service to store data from browser.

• authenticates user using CAS/Shibboleth
• JSONP allowed for GETs (CAS only)
• XHR+CORS for PUT/DELETE/...
• database names should match CORS Origin, but specific ACLs allowed
• pseudo sub-table "$user" specific to each users
  • "admin_xxx/$user" is forbidden, table "admin_xxx" is only accessible to admins
• use option allowRedirect if you allow restarting your application by redirecting to CAS/IDP. You can use option prompt=none if you are inside an iframe and do not want user to enter password inside iframe (use <SSO ... conf:ignoreNoPassive="true"> in shibboleth2.xml)
• if the value has expireAt field, it will be used to automatically remove the value at the specified date (NB: it may last a few minutes longer)

If authentication is enabled, create a shared user for database restdb-- :

% mongo restdb-
> db.createUser({ user: 'owner', pwd: '$random', roles: [ { role: 'dbOwner', db: 'restdb-' } ] })

Then for each database, allow access:

% mongo restdb-
> db.grantRolesToUser('owner', [ { role: "dbOwner", db: "restdb-xxx" } ])

NB: you must use an account which ~/.mongorc.js containing something like:

db.getSiblingDB('admin').auth('root', 'xxx')

created for example with:

mongo admin --eval "db.createUser({ user: 'root', pwd: '$random', roles: [ { role: 'root', db: 'admin' } ] })"
