how to authenticate mongoose connection mongodb in node.js

Question

I have created mongodb user with command

use admin
db.createUser(
    {
      user: \"superuser\",
      pwd: \"12345678\",
      roles: [ \"root\" ]
    }
)
         


        

Answer 1

You must declare the authSource parameter in your connection string in order to specify the name of the database that contains your user's credentials:

var options = {
  user: "superuser",
  pass: "12345678"
};

var mongooseConnectionString = 'mongodb://localhost/twitter-mongo?authSource=admin';

Note: for users of Mongoose 4.x, you may want to also include useMongoClient: true in your options object. This silences the Please authenticate using MongoClient.connect with auth credentials and open() is deprecated error messages.
