可以通过Mongo Shell连接到Heroku中的MongoDB，但不能连接到应用程序

Question

I have setup a scala play reactive-mongo application in heroku. Mongo is provided by mlab in heroku. Having a bit of an issue connecting to mongo through the app, connecting through the shell with the same credentials works fine. I am using scala play 2.5.1 and reactive 0.11.11 and mongod is 3.0.8. I think all these versions work together but I get an authentication error at startup:

2016-04-18T06:59:56.010136+00:00 app[web.1]: }

On subsequent inserts I don't get an error but nothing actually gets inserted.
On retrievals I get the following error:

2016-04-18T07:05:56.742757+00:00 app[web.1]: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: (,List(ValidationError(List('n' is undefined on object: {"ok":0,"errmsg":"not authorized on heroku_0pps6l5f to execute command { count: \"sightings\" }","code":13}),WrappedArray())))

Answer 1

ReactiveMongo is using MONGODB-CR authentication by default, for backward compatibility purpose (this should be changed for 0.12).

When using a fresh MongoDB 3.x, the SCRAM-SHA1 authentication is required. So make sure this option is enable with ReactiveMongo : authMode=scram-sha1 (in the connection URI).
