Authentication Failed Mongoose

Question

I'm trying to enable auth into my mongo server. I've already done:

-Configured security into mongo.conf

-Created the users(if use it with mongo -u -p..... from console works fine)

In the node server js my config is this

mongoose.connect(mongodb://user:pass@localhost:27017/dbName);

Also I've already tried with

mongoose.connect(mongodb://user:pass@localhost:27017/dbName,{auth:{authdb:"admin"}});

And this

mongoose.connect(mongodb://user:pass@localhost:27017/dbName,{auth:{authdb:"dbName"}});

And always get this error:

Authentication failed

What would be doing wrong?

i am not sure but try mongoose.connect ('mongodb://user:pass@localhost:27017/dbName',{auth:{authdb:"admin"}}) — Fadi Abo Msalam

Try specifying the authDB like this -

mongoose.connect("mongodb://user:pass@localhost:27017/dbName?authSource=admin");

Can you post how you connect using the terminal successfully?
