auth fails about mongojs HOT 5 CLOSED

In case it isn't clear, the connection string is correct, I can connect to that database with those values when I use another client. This seems to be an issue with mongojs.

The connection string you share in this issue - is that exact connection string valid? Because I get an auth error as well when using it with the mongo terminal console.

I see what you mean; I was able to successfully connect by specifying the auth db:

mongo -u root -p s6m3ta7I9w711vCN2Xgz margindev-geoffmaker-db-0.azva.dotcloud.net:40769/maker_ad_planner --authenticationDatabase admin

Is there an equivalent of "--authenticationDatabase" in mongojs ?

from mongojs.

I know it is a bit late but according to the driver documentation you can use the authSource option in the connection string to set the authentication database. You might want to give it a try.

Hi,
when i use find method i got auth error.

code:
var databaseUrl = "mongodb://root:mean@localhost:/mydb";
var collections = ["users", "reports"]
var mongojs = require('mongojs');
var db = mongojs("mydb",['mycollection']);

db.mycollection.find({sex: "female"},function(err, docs) {
// docs is an array of all the documents in mycollection
console.log(err);
console.log(docs);
});

error:
mongodb\lib\mongodb\mongo_client.js:460
throw err
