MongoError: Authentication failed

[yankouskia]

I have mongodb in mongolab. If I connect to it by command

mongo uri/$db -u user -p pass

it is ok. If I use mongoose and connect by

mongoose.connect('mongodb://${user}:${pass}@${uri}/${db}')

I have error

MongoError: Authentication failed

I use mongoose 4.6.1

Also, I have checked - bug is not reproduced in 4.4.20 version. It works correctly

Do your username and password include any non alphanumeric characters? Similar issues have surfaced in the past with handling characters like : in passwords

[vkarpov15]

Also, what version of mongoose and mongodb?

[yankouskia]

Mongodb 'v3' No, there is no non-alphanumeric symbols.

Hmm also what database is the user defined on? MongoDB users are scoped to dbs, even if they have cross-db privileges, so if the user you have isn't defined on db you'll need to put something like mongoose.connect('mongodb://${user}:${pass}@${uri}/${db}?authSource=admin') if the user is defined on the 'admin' db.

Also, if you're on mongodb 3.x, you might be using SCRAM-SHA-1 auth or not. Try both of the below:

• mongoose.connect('mongodb://${user}:${pass}@${uri}/${db}?authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1')
• mongoose.connect('mongodb://${user}:${pass}@${uri}/${db}?authMechanism=MONGODB-CR')

@vkarpov15, Yes, it helped! Thank you very much!

just add ?authSource=yourDB&w=1 to end of db url

mongoose.connect('mongodb://user:password@host/yourDB?authSource=yourDB&w=1') this work for me . &w=1 is important
