Admin user to not able to login to other database on mongodb

Question

mongo user can able to login on admin database.But can't able to login other databases.

I have given following privileges to the user.

Privileges command :

db.createUser( { user: "root", pwd: "password", roles: [ "readWriteAnyDatabase", "userAdminAnyDatabase", "dbAdminAnyDatabase", "clusterAdmin" ]} )

While accessing to other DB form Mongo Shell I got below error

Command line :

C:\mongodb\bin>mongo.exe database-name -u root -p

2014-12-01T12:00:05.806+0000 Error: 18 { ok: 0.0, errmsg: "auth failed", code: 18 } at src/mongo/shell/db.js:1210
exception: login failed

So How can I give access to the DB with the same user?Can anyone please help on this.

Answer 1

You need to authenticate to the database where the user exists. The easiest way to do this with the shell is to use --authenticationDatabase

mongo.exe database-name -u root -p ***** --authenticationDatabase admin
