How to connect to mongoDB Atlas using mongoose

Question

I'm trying to connect to my cluster on mongoDB Atlas via Mongoose.connect(), but every time i try to connect i get an exception "MongoError: authentication fail" I know MongoDB Atlas is new mongo as a service could it be not supported by mongoose yet?.

Answer 1

The answer in this related post is correct. You should:

• not mix options with connection string (if done so)
• make sure your IP you are running on is whitelisted and your network allows connections to Atlas
• make sure the user has sufficient permissions

• use the connection string as is provided by atlas and just provide it to

  mongoose.connect(uri);
