Host: SERVER_IP
PORT: 270         


        

Answer 1

For pymongo,

Try below for MongoDB 4:

Add authSource : This is the name of the database that has the collection with the user credentials.

Ex:

client = MongoClient(host=<>,
                     port=<>, 
                     username=<>, 
                     password=<>,
                    authSource="admin")
db_obj = client[db_name]

Edit 1: I have tried this on Mongo 3.x version as well. Working for that too.
