Nest.JS MongoDB TypeormModule throws error "requires authentication"-CodePudding

I have a nestjs app which uses typeorm and I am trying to connect to a mongodb (heroku addon). Somehow I can not solve it no matter what I do, I always get an authentication error

"command find requires authentication"

   TypeOrmModule.forRoot({
      type: 'mongodb',
      username:"mydbusername",
      password:"mdbuserpassowrd",
      database:"mydbname",
      port:54681,
      url: process.env.ORMONGO_RS_URL,
      entities: ['dist/**/*.entity{.ts,.js}'],
      ssl: true,
      useUnifiedTopology: true,
      useNewUrlParser: true,
      authSource:"admin"
 
    }),

My connection string looks as follows (changed some values for security)

mongodb://iad2-c12-9.mongo.objectrocket.com:54681,iad2-c16-1.mongo.objectrocket.com:54681,iad2-c16-0.mongo.objectrocket.com:54681/?replicaSet=a72c9007b7bf4f2ead57d6532313123123&ssl=true

CodePudding user response：

Don't user username and password for type mongodb in typeorm, pass these values in URL. I had many times problems with it.

CodePudding user response：

solved it by myself, had to use another authSource (my actual dbname) rather than just admin.
