Connection string issue

MongoDB University
1

Hi,

When I first try to connect, I build my connection string with several default most-likely because I successfully connect as follow:

mongodb://m001-student:m001-mongodb-basics@cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017/admin

When I did the first lab, I read the doc about it and I tried to pass options like this:

mongodb://m001-student:m001-mongodb-basics@cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017/admin?replicaSet=Cluster0-shard-0&ssl=true&readPreference=primaryPreferred

I never succeed to log with these options. I tried to remove them one by one, same result. I must have missed something. I want to know what is wrong because there is a lot of options.

Thanks

Hi @Denis_Gilbert_55813,

In this thread you have mentioned that finally you were able to connect. Please let me know if you are still having any issue.

For any other user who might be having similar issue, please use this connection string for connecting to the class atlas cluster from Compass.

mongodb://m001-student:m001-mongodb-basics@cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017/?authSource=admin&replicaSet=Cluster0-shard-0&readPreference=primaryPreferred&appname=MongoDB%20Compass&ssl=true

Hi,
I can’t connect with this connection string. I always get the “Server selection timed out after 30000ms” message. What can I do?

Thanks

Hi, Yes I were able to connect without options at the end.

If I understand, your connection string has the following in option

authSource=admin
appname=MongoDB Compass

So if I understand, I cannot pass the authSource in the url ( /admin … ) if I am using the options
or the appName is mandatory.

Please confirm.
Thank You

Hi @Jannick_89527,

It could be your network/firewall/anti-virus that might be causing this issue. Please have a look at this post for further instructions.

Please feel free to get back to us if the issue still persists.

Hi @Denis_Gilbert_55813,

You can also use this shorter SRV connection string for connecting to the class atlas cluster.

mongodb+srv://m001-student:m001-mongodb-basics@cluster0-jxeqq.mongodb.net/test

For more information on this you can refer this page.

Hope it helps!
