com.mongodb.MongoQueryException: Query failed with error code 13 - mongodb

Question

We are getting com.mongodb.MongoQueryException:
> Query failed with error code 13 while connecting to MongDB trhough
> spring-data.
MongoDB version 3.x
Spring 4.1.6, mongo-java-driver - 3.0.2, spring-data-commons - 1.10.0.RELEASE, spring-data-mongodb - 1.7.0.RELEASE
Unable to run the find query on a collection.
I am able to view the collection on GUI using same credentials.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the full exception:

Check mongo XSD for 2.6 vs 3.0 java drivers, they are different - it seems you still use old way to authenticate.
<mongo:db-factory dbname="${mongo.database}" username="${mongo.user}"
password="${mongo.pwd}" mongo-ref="mongo"/>
This works with 2.6 java driver only, not with 3.0 java driver.
Use this mongo-client-option with credentials attribute.
<mongo:mongo-client replica-set="${mongo.replica-set}" credentials="you need to put here user/password with specific DB">
The comma delimited list of username:password#database entries to use for authentication. Appending ? uri.authMechanism allows to specify the authentication challenge mechanism. If the credential you're trying to pass contains a comma itself, quote it with single quotes: '…'.
