MongoDB URI should include the database

[fsouza]

For authentication reasons, the MongoDB URI should include the database.

Details, extracted from Flask mailing list:

Hey,

This throws the same error, but when I try host='mongodb://user:password@188.88.88.2:27017/database', then it works.. I created a user for the database, not for the entire server, because, that would be insecure otherwise.

Can you execute this code below in the Python interactive console?

>>> import pymongo
>>> conn = pymongo.connection.Connection(host='mongodb://user:password@188.88.88.2:27017') # place your data here
>>> conn.database

Hey there,

I realize that this might not be related to Flask in anyway, but I still wanted to get some help. What I have are 2 servers, one running MongoDB server and the other is the client. Now, I'm trying to access the server from the client by using appropriate credentials and port numbers. The connection is successful via the command-line mongo tool but while using the exact same settings with Flask-MongoAlchemy, it says that authentication failed.

Could you please paste the stack trace here?

I know that the settings are valid, I know that the firewall is not blocking requests. What could be the fault?

config.py in the client server-

MONGOALCHEMY_DATABASE = 'database'
MONGOALCHEMY_SERVER = '188.88.88.2'
MONGOALCHEMY_USER = 'user'
MONGOALCHEMY_PASSWORD = 'password'

I'm using Flask-MongoAlchemy by the way.
