Hi, I created an angular 6 app and using stitch javascript sdk to get some data of my mongodb database.

So I enabled annonymous authentication on stitch and copied the example code of the docs:

const clientPromise = stitch.StitchClientFactory.create('myappid');
clientPromise.then(client => {
const db = client.service('mongodb', 'mongodb-atlas').db('mydb-db');
client.login().then(() =>
db.collection('words').find({ owner_id: client.authedId() }).limit(100).execute()
).then(docs => {
console.log("Found docs", docs)
console.log("[MongoDB Stitch] Connected to Stitch")
}).catch(err => {
console.error(err)
});
});

But then im getting this error:

main.js:404 Error: error connecting to MongoDB service cluster: unable to authenticate using mechanism "SCRAM-SHA-1": (AtlasError) bad auth Authentication failed.

What im missing here?

Thanks!

Hi Guilherme,

Looks like there is something off about the authentication. Check whether your myappid application has access to the database mydb-db.

If you’re still having difficulties connecting using Stitch, I would suggest to contact Cloud Support for Stitch and provide a sample application code.
