So this is the weirdest thing.
I have two centOS 7 servers running mongo. I now wanted to enforce authentication so I added the security.authorization: enabled to the mongod.conf file.
I already have a user on database "buzzztv".
So when I ran mongod --conf /etc/mongod.conf on the first server everything went fine.
Then I did the exact same thing on the second server and whenever I try to connect with one of the users I get the following error:
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?authSource=buzzztv&compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
2020-02-20T13:02:35.166+0000 E QUERY [js] Error: Authentication failed. :
connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:341:17
@(connect):2:6
2020-02-20T13:02:35.168+0000 F - [main] exception: connect failed
2020-02-20T13:02:35.168+0000 E - [main] exiting with code 1
Now if I run mongod --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log --auth the login works perfectly fine.
So obiously I could just run this command, but I want to use the mongod.conf.
Here is my mongod.conf file, I checked and it is a perfect copy of the file from the server in which it does work.
Any ideas?
