I'm getting the following error when attempting to connect to my mongo replset which has auth protection (just created a simple admin user and specifying a keyFile):

code
/Users/montgomeryc/Projects/mongoskin-auth-test/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/mongo_client.js:460
throw err
^

I have a very simple node app that reproduces this error:

code
var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var url = "mongodb://admin:password@localhost:27017,localhost:27018,localhost:27019/tesla-wsj";
MongoClient.connect(url, function (err, db) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("connect and auth success!!");
});
code

I'm following the URL connection format listed here: http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/driver-articles/mongoclient.html#the-url-connection-format

What's strange is, if I specify the auth for each mongo in the replset, it succeeds. e.g.:

code
"mongodb://admin:password@localhost:27017,admin:password@localhost:27018,admin:password@localhost:27019/tesla-wsj"
code

Why does it work for the second string and not the first? do I possibly have a misconfigured replset? For reference, here's my rs.status():

code
wsj_app:PRIMARY> rs.status()
{
"set" : "wsj_app",
"date" : ISODate("2014-06-06T15:55:48Z"),
