MongoDB server version: 4.4.4
Mongo driver version: 3.12.8
Issue
Facing issues authenticating. The exception is:
com.mongodb.MongoSecurityException:
Exception authenticating MongoCredential{
mechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1,
userName='test',
source='dbName',
password=,
mechanismProperties=}
Caused by: com.mongodb.MongoCommandException:
Command failed with error 18 (AuthenticationFailed): 'Authentication failed.' on server localhost:33132.
The full response is
{
"ok": 0.0,
"errmsg": "Authentication failed.",
"code": 18,
"codeName": "AuthenticationFailed"
}
The connection string is of the form: mongodb://<user>:<password>@host:port/dbName
Likely causes
- The user name and/or password is incorrect.
- The dbName in the connection string is not the database in which the user is defined. Try removing it and use a connection string like: mongodb://<user>:<password>@host:port
