Enabling mongodb auth - mongodb

Question

I have an install of ubuntu 14.04 x64 The only thing I have done to it is fresh update and install mongodb and pritunl. Here is how I installed both
$ nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list
deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse
$ nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pritunl.list
deb http://repo.pritunl.com/stable/apt trusty main
$ apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
$ apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv CF8E292A
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install pritunl mongodb-org
$ service pritunl start
Now I would like to enable auth on mongodb 3.0.9 for this I have used guide here
https://medium.com/#matteocontrini/how-to-setup-auth-in-mongodb-3-0-properly-86b60aeef7e8#.a1nfxsy3a
After I create the first user and I
security:
authorization: enabled
I run into problems I cant make any connection from the locahost here is the error I receive
~# mongo pritunl --port 27017 -u admin -p passwordhere --authe nticationDatabase admin

Or attempting to connect to admin

Or any other way I try and make a connection. I feel like I am missing something simple. I thought maybe I was screwing up the user creation so I have used tried using http://3t.io/mongochef/ gui to take my potential typing errors out of the user creation.
I have been fighting this for a few days and wearing google out but not getting traction. At this point I am will to pay for some help in figuring out what Im messing up but I would like to know how to fix it so I have the knowledge of how to implement basic security. I can pay with bitcoin
