Error:

2019-12-20T11:36:55.931-0500    error connecting to host: could not connect to server: connection() : auth error: sasl conversation error: unable to authenticate using mechanism "SCRA
M-SHA-1": (AuthenticationFailed) Authentication failed.

I am following along "Getting MEAN" text by Holmes/Harber - pg 152.

Any suggestions? Thank you

  • Jus a thought, but I've had issues connecting to the db, if the tools version was incompatible with the database. Make sure both mongo-tools and your mongodb install are compatible Commented Feb 24, 2020 at 7:35

You must also specify which database you are using for authentication, e.g., --authenticationDatabase admin.
