Dette skyldes, at brugeroplysningerne er gemt i administratordatabasen og ikke i standarddatabasen, hvor mongo-skallen forbinder (test).
Du kan ændre dette med forbindelsens URL:
Med admin database:
$ mongo localhost/admin --username user -p
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.9
Enter password:
connecting to: localhost/admin
replset:PRIMARY>
Uden en specifik database (test som standard):
$ mongo localhost --username user -p
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.9
Enter password:
connecting to: localhost

exception: login failed
Med --authenticationDatabase :
$ mongo localhost --username user --authenticationDatabase admin -p
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.9
Enter password:
connecting to: localhost
replset:PRIMARY>
Bemærk, at du bruger --host vil ikke antage, at databasenavnet er det efter / (skråstreg:
$ mongo --host localhost/admin --username user -p
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.9
Enter password:
connecting to: localhost/admin:27017/test
