Authentication failed error

[jswh]

I am using a remote mongo server with password and username.And the configuration looks like this

'mongodb' => [
        'driver'   => 'mongodb',
        'host'     => ['192.168.1.100'],
        'port'     => 27017,
        'database' => 'database',
        'username' => 'username,
        'password' => 'passed',
        'options'  => []
    ],

I got an "Authentication failed" when using the Moloquent and remove the database in the dsn to fix it.
I am not sure how this error happen, speculating it is the duplicated database selections both in constructor and dsn builder cause this error.

//in constructor
$this->db = $this->connection->selectDatabase($config['database']);
//in dsn
return "mongodb://" . implode(',', $hosts) . "/{$database}";

I was having same issue and then came here on this thread.
I have done exactly as mentioned above and problem resolved,
But don't know how this error happened.
Can anyone let us know the exact reason and proper solution for this??

I change the config type to fix this problem.The config may like this

    'mongodb' => [
        'driver'   => 'mongodb',
        'dsn'      => 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017',
        'username' => 'username',
        'password' =>  'passwd',
        'database' => 'db',
        'options'  => ['connectTimeoutMS' => 50]
    ],

I can confirm that the solution above works. I'm using the same server with package version 2 in another app, and it works just fine.

@jswh I found a better solution. Change:

'options' => [
                'db' => 'admin' // sets the authentication database required by mongo 3
            ]

to

'options' => [
                'database' => 'admin' // sets the authentication database required by mongo 3
            ]

I have this configuration:

'mongodb' => [
            'driver'   => 'mongodb',
            'host'     => '127.0.0.1',
            'port'     => '27017',
            'database' => 'chat',
            'username' => 'chat',
            'password' => 'dfferdfvd234',
            'options' => [
                'database' => 'admin' // sets the authentication database required by mongo 3
            ]
        ],

It gives me 'auth failed' error.
If I comment out username and password fields then it works.
I have the same username and password setted on Moongose with a nodejs server and it connects normally.
I tried @jswh solution but it doesn't work for me.
I have Laravel 5.3 and I'm using "jenssegers/mongodb": "^3.1" updated to today.

Are you sure it's an issue with the package? Don't you have auth disabled on your server?

[funyug]

Had the same issue today after running composer update. Commenting out username and password worked.
