Mongoose connection authentication failed

Question

With this help, I created a super user in the mongo shell: Create Superuser in mongo

user: "try1"
passw: "hello"

In mongo cmd, I have 3 databases: 'admin', 'myDatabase' and 'local'.

Now I try to use this authorized connection to the database called 'myDatabase'.

mongoose.connect('mongodb://try1:hello@localhost:27017/myDatabase');

But this is the error I get:

name: 'MongoError',
message: 'Authentication failed.',
ok: 0,
errmsg: 'Authentication failed.',
code: 18,
codeName: 'AuthenticationFailed' }
Mongoose disconnected
Mongoose disconnected through ${msg}

Answer 1

I had the same problem many hours ago, and after all I solve it. My code is:

mongoose.createConnection(
  "mongodb://localhost:27017/dbName",
  {
    "auth": {
      "authSource": "admin"
    },
    "user": "admin",
    "pass": "password"
  }
);

Further to @kartGIS, I've added one more option to make the connection code perfect as possible.

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/databaseName", {
    "auth": { "authSource": "admin" },
    "user": "username",
    "pass": "password",
    "useMongoClient": true
});
