Authentication fails

I’m trying to connect to a database on my localhost. I can connect just fine from the command line, but when I try with the WebStorm plugin it’s not working. I enter the credentials and information like so: When I press “Test Connection” it says it’s successful. But when I save the configuration and try to connect to the database my IDE hangs for 30 seconds and I get this error:

8:54:42 PM MongoTimeoutException: Error when collecting Mongo databases: Timed out after 30000 ms while waiting for a server that matches ReadPreferenceServerSelector{readPreference=primary}. Client view of cluster state is {type=UNKNOWN, servers=[{address=localhost:27017, type=UNKNOWN, state=CONNECTING, exception={com.mongodb.MongoSecurityException: Exception authenticating}, caused by {com.mongodb.MongoCommandException: Command failed with error 18: 'auth failed' on server localhost:27017. The full response is { "ok" : 0.0, "errmsg" : "auth failed", "code" : 18 }}}]

Not sure why auth failed, I definitely have the right credentials. Any help?

The problem is the new authentication mechanism from mongoDB 3. MongoDB use now SCRAM-SHA-1 and no longer MONGODB-CR.

After I changed the authentication mechanism back to MONGODB-CR in my mongoDB the plugin works perfect.

Changed in version 3.0.

MongoDB supports multiple authentication mechanisms. MongoDB’s default authentication method is a challenge and response mechanism (SCRAM-SHA-1). Previously, MongoDB used MongoDB Challenge and Response (MONGODB-CR) as the default.

The SNAPSHOT version fixed the issue for me. Thanks!
