Unable to connect to MongoLab “auth fails” error

Question

I am new to mongo. Recently created an account in mongoLab.

I am trying to connect to the database using the below statement.

mongo ds039487.mongolab.co         


        

Answer 1

Thanks to pneumee.

The issue was because I was using my mongolab.com username and password, instead of the database username and password.

It is working now.
