Support authenticating as admin

Replica set configuration fails when auth is enabled.

+1 does anyone have a good solution to this yet?

I'm sorry for the delay. The cause of this is somewhere deep inside the 190 lines of Mongodb.configure_replicaset. The original authors have no longer contribute to this cookbook, and I'm usually too feeble minded to grok all that, so I shy away from these tickets in fear.

I can see that your issue is coming from line 47, but I don't really know much about this library.

Oh, it looks like our Mongo::Connection is being deprecated in favor of Mongo::Client. joy.

Looks like we're going to need to #add_auth to the connection.

[josephholsten]

oh joy, we also set up multiple connections.

I haven't added this to #221 yet, but I'll just leave this comment to remind me that this ticket is related.

For me, I've been dropping an auth command after connection strings, like: https://github.com/edelight/chef-mongodb/blob/master/libraries/mongodb.rb#L42

Mine looks along the lines of:

if node[:mongodb][:config][:auth] connection["admin"].authenticate(mongo_bag["admin"]["username"], mongo_bag["admin"]["password"]) end

mongo_bag is simply an encrypted databag im storing credentials in. This has been working pretty well for me in all of my replicasets.
