Unable to connect to mongodb Atlas

See original GitHub issue

Hey, it works with local db but fails with mongodb atlas connection string, I’m using the syntax like this:

await client.connect(
    "mongodb+srv://user:password@name.mongodb.net/db?authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1"
);

// also tried this

await client.connect(
    "mongodb+srv://user:password@name.mongodb.net/db?retryWrites=true&w=majority&authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1"
);

// and this

await client.connect(
    "mongodb+srv://user:password@name.mongodb.net/db?retryWrites=true&w=majority"
);

It always fails here: https://deno.land/x/mongo@v0.29.0/src/client.ts#L41 with error:

{
"ok":0,
"errmsg":"Authentication failed.",
"code":18,
"codeName":"AuthenticationFailed",
"$clusterTime":{"clusterTime":{"$timestamp":"7043035952079437828"},"signature":{"hash":"z8hkCMby/OYpTnJXHNS7+rZfBvI=","keyId":{"high":1625418439,"low":1,"unsigned":false}}},
"operationTime":{"$timestamp":"7043035952079437828"}
}

Can you share if it’s a known issue or do I need to provide some additional params?

Ah it seems the database name in the connection string isn’t supported for now. It started working once I’ve updated connection string like this:

 "mongodb+srv://USER:PASSWORD@jok-prod.RANDOM.mongodb.net/?authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1"

The reason why I think it’s an issue is that the connection string I used works properly with nodejs mongo (official) driver and many users will use the same connections string and had the same issue.

I think credential.db should not be changed unless there will be provided authSource explicitly.
