mongodb database setup unauthorized auth=true and enableLocalhostAuthBypass=1

[Ben Marengo]

hi all

i am having trouble trying to puppetize my mongodb setup using the module https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mongodb.

puppet fails when executing `/usr/bin/mongo --quiet --eval db.getMongo().getDBNames()`

the full error msg is 

`Error: /Stage[main]/Mongo::Deploy_mongo/Mongodb_database[mongotest]: Could not evaluate: Execution of '/usr/bin/mongo --quiet --eval db.getMongo().getDBNames()' returned 252: Tue Mar 25 14:37:23.250 listDatabases failed:{ "ok" : 0, "errmsg" : "unauthorized" } at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:46`

i have set `auth=true` and `setParameter = enableLocalhostAuthBypass=1` in my conf file

my understanding was that even though `auth` was enabled, commands issued from the localhost are allowed to bypass it. can someone help me understand why the command above doesn't work?

thanks

ben
