Eclipse Link 4.0.0/MongoDB 6.0.1 unable to connect authSource param missing. [message #1856688]

Hello everybody.

I am trying to connect to MongoDB version 6.0.1. This server is configured to use the user and password.

I cannot be able to connect. In little research on the internet, the problem is related to the authSource=admin param. But I cannot find any about how to pass custom params using the persistent.xml

I read in sprint data

spring.data.mongodb.authentication-database=admin

spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://user:passwod@localhost/test?authSource=admin

But in EclipseLink?

Any way to send custom parameters in the connection config of persistent.xml?

My persistence.xml look like

<persistence 
    ....
    version="2.1">
    <persistence-unit name="Support" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <class>com.jpa.example.models.NoSQL.MyObject</class>
        <properties>
            <property name="eclipselink.target-database" value="org.eclipse.persistence.nosql.adapters.mongo.MongoPlatform"/>
            <property name="eclipselink.nosql.connection-spec" value="org.eclipse.persistence.nosql.adapters.mongo.Mongo3ConnectionSpec"/>
            <property name="eclipselink.nosql.property.user" value="root"/>
            <property name="eclipselink.nosql.property.password" value="dsystems01"/>
            <property name="eclipselink.nosql.property.mongo.port" value="27017"/>
            <property name="eclipselink.nosql.property.mongo.host" value="localhost"/>
            <property name="eclipselink.nosql.property.mongo.db" value="Test01DB"/>
            <property name="eclipselink.nosql.property.mongo.auth-source" value="admin"/>

            <property name="jakarta.persistence.schema-generation.database.action" value="drop-and-create" />

            <property name="eclipselink.logging.level" value="FINEST"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

It looks like a newer setting/option that wasn't always supported in the MongoClient.

I'm not overly familiar with that part of the code, but you might be able to write your own mechanisms to read in that property if you look at MongoConnectionSpec.java and MongoDatabaseConnectionFactory.java and how they build a com.mongodb.MongoClient from com.mongodb.MongoClientOptions. The latest Mongo client may support the authSource in its options, or you can use a MongoClientURI as shown in post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46156343/mongodb-url-set-with-mongoclientoptions .

Best Regards,
Chris

Hello, thanks for your answer!

But I read the source code and the param is missing the class MongoConnectionSpec and MongoJCAConnectionSpec does not take care of the "authSource" parameter.

I summited a pull request fixing the missing feature you can see in:
