connecting robomongo with modulus mongodb server

Question

How can I use Robomongo to connect to my free modulus.io mongodb server? In node.js code, I can do this to connect to my database:

// config/database.js
module.exports = {

    'url' : 'mongodb://<user>:<pass>@mongo.onmodulus.net:27017/ytub8Upa'

};

What's the equivalent in Robomongo? It asks for Address and the port number after : . How do I point it to my modulus database?

Answer 1

In Connection tab:

Address: mongo.onmodulus.net .

Port: 27017

In Authentication tab:

Check "Perform authentication", and specify username and password.

Answer 2

To add to Dmitry's answer above, you also need to specify a database nmae in the Authentication tab: using your example code, that would be ytub8Upa .
