UPDATE
I also tried this to connect:
mongo -u root -p 1234 localhost:27017/anotherDB
But again, I can't connect.
END OF UPDATE
I am having problems on connecting to my mongodb server using another DB.
Here's what I did so far:
With auth=False in /etc/mongod.conf, I connected to my server and created a root user in admin db with this command:
db.addUser({ user: "root", pwd: "1234", roles: [{role:"root",db:"admin"}] }
Stop mongod service, set auth=true in the mongod.conf and restarted mongod service.
I connected to my mongod server using this command:
mongo -u root -p 1234 localhost:27017/admin
And I was able to connect. I then, switched to another db and created another user with these commands:
use anotherDB
db.createUser(
{
user: "anotheruser",
pwd: "1234",
roles: ["readWrite"]
}
Creation was successful. I then ended my current connection and tried to connect using this
command:
mongo -u anotheruser -p 1234 localhost:27017/anotherDB
But I can't connect and receiving this error:
Error while trying to show server startup warnings: not authorized on admin to execute command {getLog: "startupWarnings"}
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I believe you are running into this issue:
https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-13588
As of the this time, the fix is already in the master branch and is scheduled to be backported to 2.6.2.

I'm trying to connect remotely on a mongodb server throw my local machine, but i'm having some issues.
On the remote server i modified the 'mongod.cfg' file and i changed the bindIp from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 to allow access. In the same file i changed the security by adding Authentication: 'enabled'.
I created an admin user:
> use admin
> db.createUser({user: "root", pwd: "root", roles:["root"]})
I started mongodb with --auth flag
> mongod --auth --port 27017
Once the server was up, i connect to it as administrator
mongo 127.0.0.1:27017 -u "root" -p "root" --authenticationDatabase "admin"
Once i was connected, i created a normal user
> use base
> db.createUser({user: "base", pwd: "base", roles:["dbOwner"]})
Then i disconnected from mongo shell and reconnected with new user credentials
> mongo <127.0.0.1:27017>/base -u "base" -p "base"
It worked properly on the remote server.
On the local machine i tried the same command on my local machine and it failed
> mongo 127.0.0.1:27017/base -u "base" -p "base"
[js] Error: Authentication failed. :
connect#src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:344:17
#(connect):2:6
exception: connect failed
127.0.0.1 is making reference to the localhost of the host machine, you need to set the user in both machines if you are going to use one, if you want to use a db that share the data in the cloud you can use Mlab or if both ip are in the same network you can make reference from one to another by the ip address
mongo <ip_address>:27017/base -u "base" -p "base"
Ive downloaded a project using MongoDB and im having trouble getting set up. From the terminal where ive run mongod I see this error:
2017-05-26T14:51:22.908+0800 I ACCESS [conn21] SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication failed for user on wesbostest from client 127.0.0.1:51653 ; UserNotFound: Could not find user user#wesbostest
From my npm start terminal mongoose logs out this error: Authentication failed.
My environment file has this line:
DATABASE=mongodb://user:pass#localhost:27017/wesbostest
Ive got MongoDB Compass installed. It successfully connects with these settings:
Hostname: localhost
Port: 27017
Authentication: None
SSL: Off
SSH Tunnel: Off
So I think the user:pass part of the environment file is wrong? How can I see what local username and password are and/or set them if no authentication is set up?
I solved this by setting a username and password for MongoDB:
MongoDB what are the default user and password?
Procedure
Start MongoDB without access control.
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db1
Connect to the instance.
mongo --port 27017
Create the user administrator.
use admin
db.createUser(
{
user: "myUserAdmin",
pwd: "abc123",
roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
}
)
Re-start the MongoDB instance with access control.
mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db1
Authenticate as the user administrator.
mongo --port 27017 -u "myUserAdmin" -p "abc123" \
--authenticationDatabase "admin"
I have mongod server up and running as a service on ubuntu 14.04, i started mongo shell and created a user.
db.createUser( {
user: "testAdmin",
pwd: "12345678",
roles: [ { role: "userAdmin", db: "students" } ]
} )
after that I changed edit the mongod.conf and set auth=true and restarted the mongod server as a service.
After all this, when I want to start the mongo shell with user testAdmin .
mongo -u testAdmin -p 12345678 --authenticationDatabase students
But I am not able to login and it is giving me error.
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.10
connecting to: 127.0.0.1:25018/test

First when I am specifying database students why it is trying to connect to test? Second I know that userAdmin role in mongodb is not for read/write in database with userAdmin I can only manage user roles. But to manage other users i still need to login in mongo shell.
It is working when I turn off the auth in mongod.conf, so other things are fine, only authentication is not working.
First when I am specifying database students why it is trying to connect to test?
You are not specifying the database (students) you want to connect to here.
The --authenticationDatabase is used to specify the database where the user had been created and which is used for the authentication process.
You should also specify students as the db option you want to connect to. If you omit it, the shell automatically tries to connect to test database:
mongo students -u testAdmin -p 12345678 --authenticationDatabase students
Note the addition of students just after mongo.
This is assuming the user has been created in the students database (and not admin or other). Note that in that case the db declaration within role is redundant:
roles: [ { role: "userAdmin", db: "students" } ]
could have also been specified as:
roles: [ "userAdmin" ]
I am having an issue with mongo db 3.0.4 that randomly started happening today. The authentication stopped working randomly without any user action on our part. Our setup is easy. One application, one database. I take the application out of the equation and I still get the same result. Here are the steps I am taking. Reinstalled mongo and pointed the logpath and dbpath to a new folder to start from scratch.
Create the config file.
logpath=c:\data\logs\mongod.log
dbpath=c:\data\db
Log in to mongo shell and run this command.
db.createUser({user: "admin",pwd: "admin", roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" }]})
Add the auth=true in the config file.
auth=true
Restart the mongodb service.
Start up mongo shell with
mongo -u admin -p admin --authenticationDatabase admin
Then I get the Error 18 Authentication failed.
I am really lost for words. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
i think user doesn't have efficient privileges. try with this role.
use admin
{user:"admin",pwd:"admin",roles:["root"]}
Before create the user, you need to change the db and create it in admin db.
Disable auth
Enter to mongo shell
Change db to admin ('use admin')
now create the user.
Enable the auth again (with auth or mongodb-keyfile)
Enter mongo shell with:
mongo -u admin -p admin --authenticationDatabase admin
I use the latest mongo, and try to set the SuperUserAdmin as described in the Mongo Doc.
1) Start ./mongod --dbpath ../data without auth
2) Run ./mongo
3) [mongo shell]: use admin
4) [mongo shell]: db.addUser( { user: "admin",
pwd: "abcde1234",
roles: [ "userAdminAnyDatabase" ] } )
5) [mongo shell]: db.shutdownServer()
then i restart mongod with auth:
6) ./mongod --auth --dbpath ../data
7) Run mongo (as localhost) again: ./mongo -u admin -p abcde1234
Then i get this error:
Javascript executiion failed: Error: 18 {code:18, ok:0.0, errmsg: 'auth fails'} at src/mongo/shell/db.js:L228
I tried different username &password, same thing..
what am i missing? I'm running on my Mac.
anyone has any idea?
Role userAdminAnyDatabase allows for users administration only. This is why if new account has only this role, it can be authenticated only to database "admin", i.e. mongo -u admin -p abcde1234 localhost/admin should work.
You probably want to add role dbAdminAnyDatabase as well.
try
mongo admin -u admin -p abcde1234
otherwise you will connect to test database and admin can't.
