CLI addUser requires db_uri if set for strider

[Buddwa]

Hi, After installation I create a user with cli below:

[root@strider strider]# node bin/strider addUser Connecting to MongoDB URL: mongodb://localhost/strider-foss

Enter email []: wei@ib.com Enter password []: *** Is admin? (y/n) [n]y

Email: wei@ib.com Password: **** isAdmin: y OK? (y/n) [y]y User created successfully! Enjoy.

And then I visit web site to login with this new user, but login failed as below:

Authentication failed, please supply a valid email/password.

Then I run command "db.users.find()" in strider db; however, there is no item.

So how to deal with this?

Hi, Try running strider with DEBUG=strider* and paste the logs to check the problems. What happens if you try to add again another user?

[Buddwa]

There is not a user after strider has been installed, so I want to add one. How to modify the mode debug?

[xgalen]

No users are installed with strider, it's supposed that the admin has to add it, as you did. Try it again after changing the debug mode. Just add DEBUG=strider* as an environment variable to the strider's run command.

Below is the whole output:

Are there other databases in you mongo instance? The user create might have used a different database name..

[knownasilya]

Might be related to #1055

[Buddwa]

This DB is only for Strider.

[epical-mi]

I experienced the similar case with a fresh install of Strider on AWS Linux 2. Problem was that by default MongoDB URL: is pointing to a database named 'strider-foss' rather than as in install instructions 'strider'. So you should be always remembering to set the DB_URI environment variable to point to the correct database when running bin/strider addUser.

[knownasilya]

Hum, that's a bug for sure.

[knownasilya]

So not so much a bug, but unfortunate side effect of using envs. Maybe we should suggest using the file to configure instead of bare envs.
