Auth not working in newer than 5.x MongoDB

[mmweivi]

I was using mongo:latest in Docker setup and auth did not work at all. Then I found this Reddit thread and I tested versions 3.6, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 from which after 5.0 auth no longer worked.

Perhaps something has changed in 6.0 with auth. 5.0 is better than nothing, but it'd be very nice if latest could be supported.

Are you sure? Can you confirm or disconfirm if you look at https://github.com/why-not-try-calmer/mongodb/actions/runs/6828574764? nevermind the tests don't test auth

It does work with HEAD, but hackage needs to be updated.

Participants to this thread, would you like to PR a new test for auth specifically? I think it's a crucially missing piece.

I don't dare to promise anything right now, however, when I'm less busy I could give a helping hand.

That's actually very true! The latest published version is currently unable to login using auth against any Mongo6+ version.

Should this be closed now? It looks like the Hackage was updated in Feb. 2024, or are there still issues with auth?

I'll add a test for 'auth' and we'll see.

This is unresolved. mongoDB 4.0 and later uses SHA-256 as the default. However, the version that is on HEAD will use SHA-1 if the version is 3 or higher.
