authentication fails

[kurktchiev]

Seems no matter what I do when i pass in a -u and a -p I keep getting:
CRITICAL - General MongoDB Error: command SON([('authenticate', 1), ('user', u'admin'), ('nonce', u'b2e8a643682ce8fc'), ('key', u'eaa1cc360ee11f47cd7a722ff46e7f13')]) on namespace admin.$cmd failed: auth fails

But if I run: mongo and then, use admin, db.auth("blah","blah") it works as expected. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Are you using mongodb 3.0? Many things changed and you need to update pymongo to a newer version.

I am using mongo 2.4.6 on RHEL 6.

I am using pymongo 3.0.2 on ubuntu 14.04 with mongodb > 3.
Still get an error:
General MongoDB Error: command SON([('saslStart', 1), ('mechanism', 'SCRAM-SHA-1'), ('payload', Binary('n,,n=Auser,r=SDASDASDASD', 0)), ('autoAuthorize', 1)]) on namespace admin.$cmd failed: Authentication failed.

Getting this with pymongo 3.10, Shinken 2.4 with the updated Nagios plug-in on Ubuntu 12/Python 2.7.6, MongoDB 3.0.6.

I'm getting a similar error with pyMongo 3.0 on Ubuntu trying to connect to MongoDB 2.4.9

If you're using mongodb 3.4 like me then you need to change authSchema to 3 (default is 5)

mongo
use admin
db.system.users.remove({})
db.system.version.update({"_id": "authSchema"}, { "_id" : "authSchema", "currentVersion" : 3 })

restart mongodb

db.createUser({user: "nagios", pwd: "<PASSWORD>", roles: [ { "role" : "readAnyDatabase", "db" : "admin" }, { "role" : "clusterAdmin", "db" : "admin" } ]})

Don't forget to add admin user as well
