URI login problem

[stephenkenny]

I'm able to connect successfully to a (Bitnami) MongoDB container by clicking on "I don't have an URI" and then entering the relevant details. Once logged in, I can see the database that I've set up in the MongoDB container listed under "Databases", towards the top left of the web page.

When I try the same credentials using the mongodb://user:pass...[etc] URI, I can also get logged in, but the difference is that I cannot see the database. On the page being displayed, there's nothing listed under "Databases".

Any help or advice much appreciated.

Have you tried specifying the database and the query param authSource in the MongoDB URI?

This is embarrassing - it actually works fine. I must've been doing something stupid on Friday. Thanks a lot for getting back to me. While I'm here - and at the risk of making another wrong conclusion about something :-) - can I ask if the following is the intended behaviour:

In the "I don't have an URI" method of logging in, if I supply an incorrect password, host or database name, I still get to see the landing page. It's only when I then click on the database name (on the landing page) that I get an error message detailing what's gone wrong. It's not a problem for us - we'll tell users to use the URI form of logging in. Was just curious.

Thanks a lot.

Hi again - I don't know if I was seeing things earlier, but after a simplified rebuild of my containers setup - with just a MongoDB UI container talking to a Bitnami MongoDB container configured with an initialized database (no Apache or Nginx reverse proxy in the mix) - I am back in the situation where the URI-based login doesn't show me the database on the landing page, whereas the non-URI login method does. I used Firefox's web developer tools to examine the POST request. They differ as follows

await fetch("http://127.0.0.1:5000/login", {
"credentials": "include",
"headers": {
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0",
"Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,/;q=0.8",
"Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",

"Sec-Fetch-Site": "same-origin",
"Sec-Fetch-User": "?1"
},
"referrer": "http://127.0.0.1:5000/login",
"body": "uri=mongodb%3A%2F%2Fcarbonquest%3A*********%40mongodb_carbonquest%3A27017%2Fcarbonquest_db",
"method": "POST",
"mode": "cors"
});

Sorry, I'm inexperienced with posting on Github - the above message was incomplete. To finish, the "body" lines for the URI- and non-URI-based login methods are, respectively as follows:

"body": "uri=mongodb%3A%2F%2Fcarbonquest%3A*******%40mongodb_carbonquest%3A27017%2Fcarbonquest_db",

"body": "user=carbonquest&password=*******&host=mongodb_carbonquest&port=27017&database=carbonquest_db",

I dunno if that is indicative of me doing something wrong ....

Thanks once again.
