How to connect to MongoDB 3.2 in Java with username and password?

Question

I\'m using MongoDB 3.2 in my application. The code below demonstrates database initialization logic:

private void dbInit(String dbName) {

    String mongoCl         


        

Answer 1

As MarkusWMahlberg correctly noted, it is necessary to note the database name in the connection string.

For instance:

String mongoClientURI = "mongodb://" + DB_SRV_USR + ":" + DB_SRV_PWD + "@" + DB_URL + ":" + DB_PORT + "/" + dbName;

Tested with mongodb-3.4.2 and mongo-java-driver-3.4.2.jar

(1) Use MongoCredential

MongoCredential credential = MongoCredential.createCredential("user", "database", "passwd".toCharArray());
MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient(new ServerAddress("localhost", 27017), Arrays.asList(credential));
MongoDatabase db = mongoClient.getDatabase( "test" );
MongoCollection collection = db.getCollection("mycol");
FindIterable fi = collection.find();
MongoCursor cursor = fi.iterator();

(2) Use MongoClientURI

MongoClientURI uri = new MongoClientURI("mongodb://user:passwd@localhost:27017/?authSource=test");
MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient(uri);

There are some variant forms for using MongoCredential and MongoClientURI for different authentication mechanisms, check here for details
