MongoDB Authentication failure from mongo java client

Question

I tried to connect to mongo db version 3.2 using mongo java client version 3.2 and getting the following exception, any idea what went wrong here?

com.mongodb.MongoSecurityException: Exception authenticating

Following is the code I used to connect.

MongoClient mongoClient = null;

    try {
        MongoCredential credential = MongoCredential.createMongoCRCredential("admin", "mydatabase", "admin123".toCharArray());
        mongoClient = new MongoClient(new ServerAddress("10.100.5.41", 27017), Arrays.asList(credential));

        MongoDatabase database = mongoClient.getDatabase("mydatabase");
        System.out.println(database.getName());
        MongoCollection collection = database.getCollection("user");

        MongoCursor cursor = collection.find().iterator();
        while (cursor.hasNext()) {
            System.out.println(cursor.next());
        }

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Have you added the user on "mydatabase" or on "admin" (which is the default)? Or in other words, try "admin" as the database in createMongoCRCredential. — mtj

@Zeus the code seems correct. I'm doing the same and have no problem connecting to my servers. Check the logs on your server for errors during the authentication. docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/system-users-collection — neomega

Please can someone close the question, after hours of debugging, db administrator told that, he has changed the username and password. At times I wonder why I become a Software Engineer. — Aruna Karunarathna
