Hi Team!

Sorry for potential noise. DOCS received an error report (DOCS-13886) as follows:

I tried to follow mongodb docs and tried to make a dump of the local mongodb database with no authentication enabled. Compass connects just fine with no parameters

But when I try running

mongodump

it results in the following error message:

Failed: error creating intents to dump: error getting database names: (Unauthorized) there are no users authenticated

The problem is: I don't have authentication mode enabled.

I have been unable to reproduce this in my testing, but asya chimed in and mentioned that explicitly keying in the localhost IP ( 127.0.0.1 ) bypasses this issue, and indeed it did for this user. Bypass:

mongodump mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017

This makes it seem like we might have stumbled on a bug, but I don't have repro steps for you (unable to repo in all of my attempts).

The user has provided good diagnostic info in the linked DOCS ticket (in comments and an uploaded log.txt file). I've also attached my (unsuccessful) repro attempts to that ticket as well, testing both 4.4.0 and 4.4.1.

Hope this is the right thing to do (report potential bug w/o repro steps). If not, feel free to disregard. Thanks much for your time!
