Can't create backup mongodump with --db. Authentication failed
work with this:
--authenticationDatabase adminmongodump and mongorestore commands need the name of database where mongodb user's credentials are stored. (thanks @Zubair Alam)
This should work.
mongodump -h SERVER_NAME:PORT -d DATABASE_NAME -u DATABASE_USER -p PASSWORDAlso this error can popup if username or password are wrong.
mongodump --host <host-ip> --port 27017 --db <database> --authenticationDatabase admin --username <username> --password <password> --out ./Documents/After all the trail, I found above working command to dump from mongdb.
