getnonce (database command)

This version of the documentation is archived and no longer supported. To upgrade your 6.0 deployment, see the MongoDB 7.0 upgrade procedures.

getnonce

Deprecated since version 4.0.

Client libraries use getnonce to generate a one-time password for authentication.

Applications should not invoke getnonce directly.

This command will be removed in a future release.

Behavior

If the client that issued getnonce disconnects before the operation completes, MongoDB marks getnonce for termination using killOp.
