I'm attempting to connect to a remote MongoDB Atlas Cluster from my local machine when running Parse Server Mounted on an ExpressJS server.

I'm able to connect using the MacOS Compass App fine and via the MongoDB Shell. I cannot however get the Parse Server client to connect successfully.

I am able to get the parse server to connect successfully to my local MongoDB instance.

I have a NodeChef instance running which successfully connects to the Cluster. So it is working. I just can't achieve this connection locally.

I've tried a ton of variations when it comes to the connection sting. But this is the pattern we are using successfully for nodeChef which is not working locally.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been struggling with this issue for awhile.
