MongoDB 3.2 authentication failed

Question

I create a user with the following set of commands. This should create user in both admin db as well as my target db (c2d):

# mongo 127         


        

Answer 1

try --authenticationDatabase=admin option in your terminal mongo command, if admin is the authentication database.

For example:

insteed of: mongo 127.0.0.1:27017/c2d -u c2d -p c2d

use: mongo 127.0.0.1:27017/c2d -u c2d -p c2d --authenticationDatabase=admin
