Authentication error when passing the database

[bralandealmeida]

For those who are facing this problem, we have to pass the authentication database, otherwise mongoDB will try to authenticate itself using the database we are informing.

db: mongodb://user:pass@host:port/database?authSource=admin

@bralandealmeida you might find more luck on StackOverflow, if you don't find others encountering the same issue here.
I assume you are replacing user, pass, host, port, and database with their appropriate values and the user has permissions to use that specific database, not just create databases.

[bralandealmeida]

Yes. I replace the values with environment variables and, as I said, when I remove the database from the mongodb connection uri it works normally 🤨.

That suggests to me that the user you're trying to connect with might not have the necessary permissions on the database you're trying to use, OR there's some error in the process of importing the environment variables. (For example, you might find an over-literal interpretation and discover that the password you're trying to connect with is %PASSWORD% or something like that.)
