mongoose: Mongoose not connecting with SCRAM-SHA-1

Given the following setup:

Crispens-MacBook-Pro:site crispensmith$ npm list | grep mongodb
│ ├─┬ mongodb@2.0.49
│ │ ├── mongodb-core@1.2.24
 npm ERR! peer dep missing: kerberos@~0.0, required by mongodb-core@1.2.24

Crispens-MacBook-Pro:site crispensmith$ npm list | grep mongoose
├── locomotive-mongoose@0.1.0
├─┬ mongoose@4.2.8
├── mongoose-types@1.0.3
npm ERR! peer dep missing: kerberos@~0.0, required by mongodb-core@1.2.24

on osX Yosemite (10.10.5), with connection being executed in the following code block:

module.exports = function () {
    this.mongoose = require('mongoose');
this.mongooseTypes = require("mongoose-types");
this.mongooseTypes.loadTypes(this.mongoose);
this.mongoose.connect(mongoURL);
};

This works:

var mongoURL = "mongodb://localhost/ofDreamsAndShadows";

but this does not:

var mongoURL = "mongodb://ods_db_login:0ds123@ds055594.mongolab.com:55594/of_dreams_and_shadows_dev?authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1"`

However cli login to the mongolabs instance is working as expected.

This suggests that this is an issue with Authentication (the unmet kerberos dep?) .

However, I’ve also tried on a cloud instance .

I’m including the output of npm start on my local machine as cloud instance logs are much more verbose but the critical line is the same in both instances.
