No environment variables in OpenShift

I have created a new OpenShift account for a new application I'm developing. I have added a MongoDB cartridge for the database, and a Tomcat cartridge for the Java web application.

I now need to connect to the database from my Java web app, but I miss two authentication details:

As far as I know, I have to type rhc env list -a the_name_of_my_app in the console, but my application seems to have no environment variables set. What can I do?

you can see environment variables by doing ssh to openshift. Also you can use openshift port forwarding feature to setup a connection locally to your database. Openshift blog link for port forwarding

Apparently, the default enironment variables are visible only via ssh. In order to see them, you have to type rhc ssh <appid-as-seen-on-openshift-console> followeb by env.
