Cannot authenticate my db even though my credentials are correct. Have tried almost everything under the sun. Am running BIG SUR. Could this be the issue?

Modify:

mongo-express/config.default.js

Lines 77 to 78 in 38e583b

username: getFileEnv(adminUsername) || getFileEnv(dbAuthUsername) || mongo.username || dbAuthUsername,
password: getFileEnv(adminPassword) || getFileEnv(dbAuthPassword) || mongo.password || dbAuthPassword,

To:

    username: getFileEnv(adminUsername) || getFileEnv(dbAuthUsername) || mongo.username,
    password: getFileEnv(adminPassword) || getFileEnv(dbAuthPassword) || mongo.password,

When the MongoDB username and password are empty, the username will default to dbAuthUsername, and the password will default to dbAuthPassword

mongo-express/config.default.js

Lines 25 to 26 in 38e583b

const dbAuthUsername = 'ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_USERNAME';
const dbAuthPassword = 'ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_PASSWORD';

So will cause an exception: MongoError: Authentication failed.
