Nodejs MongoError: auth fails

Question

I have an user(username:hxh,password:1234) in my local mongodb,when I execute :

hxh@ubuntu:~/share/nodejs/appid2zgk7rv83v$ mongo MongoDB shell version: 2.4.6 connecting to: test > use admin switched to db admin > db.auth('hxh','1234') 1 >

This shows that my username and password is OK,but when I try to connect the mongodb in my nodejs app:

var Db = require('mongodb').Db; var Server = require('mongodb').Server; var db = new Db('test', new Server('localhost', '27017')); db.open(function(err, db) { db.authenticate('hxh', '1234', function(err, result) { ..... }); });

I got the error

MongoError: auth fails

So why I got this error?

May be you should pass your dbname i.e. 'admin' instead if 'test'

var db = new Db('admin', new Server('localhost', '27017'));
