MongoDB auth error, internal and external mongo

[codecex]

Im trying to deploy rocketchat using external mongodb, and im getting this error all the time, even if i use internal mongodb option:

`kc logs rocketchat-rocketchat-6b884967b4-h97pp -n rocketchat /app/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/future.js:313 throw(ex); ^

MongoError: Authentication failed. at MessageStream.messageHandler (/app/bundle/programs/server/npm/node_modules/meteor/npm-mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/connection.js:272:20) at MessageStream.emit (events.js:400:28) at processIncomingData (/app/bundle/programs/server/npm/node_modules/meteor/npm-mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/message_stream.js:144:12) at MessageStream.write (/app/bundle/programs/server/npm/node_modules/meteor/npm-mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/message_stream.js:42:5) at writeOrBuffer (internal/streams/writable.js:358:12) at MessageStream.Writable.write (internal/streams/writable.js:303:10) at Socket.ondata (internal/streams/readable.js:731:22) at Socket.emit (events.js:400:28) at addChunk (internal/streams/readable.js:293:12) at readableAddChunk (internal/streams/readable.js:267:9) at Socket.Readable.push (internal/streams/readable.js:206:10) at TCP.onStreamRead (internal/stream_base_commons.js:188:23) { operationTime: Timestamp { bsontype: 'Timestamp', low: 1, high: 1648539416 }, ok: 0, code: 18, codeName: 'AuthenticationFailed', '$clusterTime': { clusterTime: Timestamp { bsontype: 'Timestamp', low: 1, high_: 1648539416 }, signature: { hash: Binary { bsontype: 'Binary', sub_type: 0, position: 20, buffer: Buffer(20) [Uint8Array] [ 215, 121, 158, 104, 33, 118, 199, 10, 128, 84, 199, 167, 53, 69, 98, 19, 218, 86, 31, 49 ] }, keyId: Long { bsontype: 'Long', low: 2, high: 1648484028 } } } } `

My external mongodb is working propertly in the same k8s cluster & namespace in replicaset mode. Im using this 2 options in the values.yaml to connect to an external mongodb: (internal is set to false)

externalMongodbUrl: mongodb://rocketchat:[email protected]:27017/rocketchat externalMongodbOplogUrl: mongodb://root:[email protected]:27017/local?replicaSet=rs0&authSource=admin

What is wrong here?¿

Thanks in advance

Does that issue still happens? It seems to be an environmental issue. What Kubernetes distribution are you using?

[dberardo-com]

still happening for me, the problem in my case is that i am trying to use an external secret to setup the internal DB and the pods fails to start because cant find the uri variables.

so i have included those but authentication fails. perhaps passwords should be b64 encoded in the uri ??

anyway some more doc on how the secret should like would be welcome

I have the same issue on k3s and rocketchat-5.3.2.

kubectl version --short

Flag --short has been deprecated, and will be removed in the future. The --short output will become the default.
Client Version: v1.25.3
Kustomize Version: v4.5.7
Server Version: v1.25.2+k3s1

I run the helm chart like this:

helm install rocketchat rocketchat/rocketchat --set mongodb.auth.password="mongoauth",mongodb.auth.rootPassword="rootmongopassword"

helm list

You don't by chance happen to be deploying to a namespace called rocketchat?

I get the exact same error, but if I deploy to a namespace not called rocketchat but rc for example, my deployment succeeds. I'm using RKE2.
