mongoose: Update to 5.2.0 and reports Authentication failed

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? bug What is the current behavior?

My code runs normal before 5.2.x but reports Authentication failed after update to 5.2

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

What is the expected behavior?

Please mention your node.js, mongoose and MongoDB version.

node version: 10.5.0 mongodb version: 3.4.6

const mongoConfig = {
  dbName: process.env.db || "test",
  pass: process.env.passwd || "",
  reconnectInterval: 500,
  reconnectTries: Number.MAX_VALUE,
  user: process.env.user || ""
}

const uri = `mongodb://${ip}:${port}`;
const con = mongoose.createConnection(uri, mongoConfig);

This should work too:

const dbOptions = {
  authSource: config.db.authDb,
  user: config.db.authUsr,
  pass: config.db.authPwd,
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useCreateIndex: true, // https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/issues/6890
};

Managed to make it work, I had to specify authSource: ‘admin’ in opts object in mongoose.createConnection(uri, opts) even though I already had that specified in the connection uri.

Connecting with the string with ?authSource=admin And connecting to DB with mongoose.createConnection
