title: connect-mongodb access sessions
body: <p>In my node.js app I am using expressJS and connect-mongodb for the session store. I have set connect-mongodb to point to me local my local MongoDB (e.g. mongoStore(mongodb://localhost/myAppDB')</p>
  
  <p>All my user authentication works as expected, but I am not seeing a sessions collection in my mongodb. For example when I run the following in the terminal:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ mongo myAppDB
   &gt; show collections
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I see all my other collection, but no sessions.</p>
  
  <p>Should I be able to see them this way?</p>
  
  <p>I just want to be able to access my session from the connect.sid, but since mongoStore has no 'get' method, so I am trying to pull the session directly from the database</p>
