mongodb – pymongo auth failed in python script

mongodb – pymongo auth failed in python script

Please try something like this:

client = MongoClient(mongodb://user_name:[email protected]_IP/prod-db)
db = client[prod-db]

If youve tried the above answers (from milos.ai) and youre still getting an error:

pymongo.errors.OperationFailure: Authentication failed.

Theres a good chance you need to add ?authSource=admin to the end of your uri.

Heres a working solution that Im using with MongoDB server version 4.2.6 and MongoDB shell version v3.6.9.

from pymongo import MongoClient

# Replace these with your server details
MONGO_HOST = XX.XXX.XXX.XXX 
MONGO_PORT = 27017
MONGO_DB = database
MONGO_USER = admin
MONGO_PASS = pass

uri = mongodb://{}:{}@{}:{}/{}?authSource=admin.format(MONGO_USER, MONGO_PASS, MONGO_HOST, MONGO_PORT, MONGO_DB)
client = MongoClient(uri)

And if youre using command line, youll get the same fix by adding the argument --authenticationDatabase admin

For pymongo,

Try below for MongoDB 4:

Add authSource : This is the name of the database that has the collection with the user credentials.

Ex:

client = MongoClient(host=<<hostname>>,
                     port=<<port>>, 
                     username=<<user_name>>, 
                     password=<<password>>,
                    authSource=admin)
db_obj = client[db_name]

Edit 1: I have tried this on Mongo 3.x version as well. Working for that too.
