connecting to user/password admin db using string does not work

[ssnyder]

Hi,

I have set up my db using simple userid/password using SCRAM-SHA-1 using the admin db to do the authentication.

The connection string in my settings.json is this: (test does show up in the mongoDB Runner extension, but never connects)

    "mongoRunner": {
        "connections": [
            {
                "name": "test",
                "url": "mongodb://myUseridWithReadOnlyAccess:[email protected]:27017/?authSource=admin&readPreference=primary&ssl=false"
            }
        ]
    }

Help would be appreciated....

Sorry for late response. Could you let me know the version of mongodb server you are connecting to? Do you have other way to connect to your db server without using authSource?

[ssnyder]

We are currently using version 3.0 I believe (we hope to update to 3.6 or higher soon, but no target date as of yet). For security purposes, we have disabled any other method of logging in at this time.

3.0 is a very old version and I didn't test it. There may be a different configuration for 3.0 in terms of ssl. The mongodb driver version I am using is also not the one for 3.0. Is it possible to upgrade your db server?

[ssnyder]

What is the oldest version you tested on? We have recently updated to 3.2 .... yes, we hope to keep updating, but are being careful for multiple reasons.

Yes, 3.2 should work. Are you saying it doesn't work in 3.2?

[ssnyder]

Sorry - it took me so long to get back to this - and yes, I'm saying it did not work in 3.2
