Question

I have created mongodb user with command

    {
      user: \"superuser\",
      pwd: \"12345678\",
      roles: [ \"root\" ]

Answer 1

Correct way to create the connection string is var connection = mongoose.createConnection("mongodb://username:pwd@hostip:port/dbname?authSource=admin", options);

Please use authSource=admin to authenticate in connection string.
