MongoDB Help Please!!

[HeavySleeper]

Okay, so basically here's my situation: All of my plugins require MongoDB database connections for them to work. I am hosting/have installed MongoDB within my dedicated server, and it seems to be working properly, with a username/password aswell.

I have two completely seperate plugins. One is a custom practice plugin which requires MongoDB, while the other is a UHC-Lobby plugin which can be found here: https://www.mc-market.org/resources/10486/. The connection to the practice is sucessful with MongoDB, and works completely flawlessly, while for some reason, the UHC-Lobby plugin I have doesn't work. It is able to sucessfully open the connection, but then it closes it. Here is a console log: . Remember though, that my other plugin works flawlessly with the authentication aswell.

Moreover, I decided to contact the dev of this UHC-Lobby plugin and attempt to get support that way, so he gave me a test DB from a hosting website and that also worked flawlessly. So, he says it must be an issue with my DB, but I'm unsure if its my DB because my other plugin using the exact same credentials works perfectly fine.

I am using MineSpigot 1.7.10-1.8x if that helps at all!

If you could please contact me if you can help me that would mean the world to me! My discord is Fierce#8174

Clearly it is an authentication error.
Authentication is managed at a database level. When you try to connect to the system using a database, mongo actually checks for the credentials you provide in the collection <database>.system.users. So, basically when you are trying to connect to "test", it looks for the credentials in test.system.users and returns an error because it cannot find them (as they are stored in admin.system.users). Having the right to read and write from all db doesn't mean you can directly connect to them.

You have to connect to the database holding the credentials first. Try:

mongo admin -u admin -p SECRETPASSWORD
