I am trying to connect to a mlab mongo database in my Golang application but I always get 'auth failed'.
If I use my local mongo, I have no problems (my local doesn't have authentication)
EDIT: I do have created a database user in mLab and I can log in with that user in RoboMongo
My database package looks like this:
package database
import (
"os"
"fmt"
"sync"
"labix.org/v2/mgo"
"time"
)
type DB struct {
Database *mgo.Database
}
const (
MongoDBHosts = "mlabHost:mlabPort"
AuthDatabase = "mydatabase"
AuthUserName = "mlabUser"
AuthPassword = "mlabPassword"
)
var _init_ctx sync.Once
var _instance *DB
func New() *mgo.Database {
_init_ctx.Do(func() {
_instance = new(DB)
mongoDBDialInfo := &mgo.DialInfo{
Addrs: []string{MongoDBHosts},
Timeout: 600 * time.Second,
Database: AuthDatabase,
Username: AuthUserName,
Password: AuthPassword,
}
// Create a session which maintains a pool of socket connections
// to our MongoDB.
session, err := mgo.DialWithInfo(mongoDBDialInfo)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Error en mongo: %+v
", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
_instance.Database = session.DB(AuthDatabase)
})
return _instance.Database
}
With that code, I always get 'auth failed', but if I change the const values to connect to my local like this:
const (
MongoDBHosts = "localhost:27017"
AuthDatabase = "mydatabase"
AuthUserName = ""
AuthPassword = ""
)
Everything is good.
I can even connect to my mLab database through RoboMongo, but one thing I noticed was that trying to connect from the command line like this:
mongo mLabHost:mLabPort/mydatabase -u mLabUser -p mLabPassword
The prompt asks again for the password and then I get (mypassword = mLabPassword I enter):
2016-06-25T16:07:10.822-0500 E - [main] file [mypassword] doesn't exist
failed to load: mypassword
I tried connecting to mLab in several different ways, but I can't find what is my problem.
Thanks
