failed login with correct credentials set in the admin db - MongoDb

Question

In my mongodb I have this db Roles assigned to the user "master" in the "admin" db:

{ "_id" : "admin.master", "user" : "master", "db" : "admin", "roles" : [ { "role" : "dbOwner", "db" : "admin" }, { "role" : "dbOwner", "db" : "cars" } ] }

Now if I try to access to mongo from the command line to the "cars" db with:

mongo 127.0.0.1/cars -u "master" -p

after entering the password I get this error:

connecting to: 127.0.0.1/cars 2014-11-22T12:23:27.377+0000 Error: 18 { ok: 0.0, errmsg: "auth failed", code: 18 } at src/mongo/shell/db.js:1210 exception: login failed

If instead I try to access mongo with:

mongo 127.0.0.1/admin -u "master" -p

As a result I can login.

Why I can not connect directly to the db "cars"?

Thanks

Try using the --authenticationDatabase option:

mongo localhost/cars --authenticationDatabase admin -u master -p
