Can’t connect to MongoDB on WinServer 2019

Thanks that helped a lot, at least now I can connect as long as authentication is off, for some reason if I turn authentication on it cant find my user and autehntication failed even tho I use the same login from remote pc as I use in mongo on the VM.

Yes so first Installed the msi 4.4.4 from the MongoDB site and started it through the console with mongod, then I started mongo through console and entered

use admin
db.createUser(
{
user: “root”,
pwd: “root”,
roles: [ { role: “userAdminAnyDatabase”, db: “admin” }, “readWriteAnyDatabase” ]
}
)

This is the Output:

Successfully added user: {
“user” : “root”,
“roles” : [
{
“role” : “userAdminAnyDatabase”,
“db” : “admin”
},
“readWriteAnyDatabase”
]
}

then I restarted mongod with mondog --auth --bind_ip_all

when im on the VM I can connect with my credentials with mongo -u root -p root

I tried to connect with Compass and with the Visual Studio Code Plugin from my remote pc and it doesnt work I only get the message in mongod in the console:

{“t”:{"$date":“2021-03-31T05:19:52.856-07:00”},“s”:“I”, “c”:“ACCESS”, “id”:xxxxx, “ctx”:“conn2”,“msg”:“Authentication failed”,“attr”:{“mechanism”:“SCRAM-SHA-256”,“principalName”:“root”,“authenticationDatabase”:“admin”,“client”:“xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx”,“result”:“UserNotFound: Could not find user “root” for db “admin””}}

If im on the VM and I try to connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 with compas and the credentials it works fine.
Im pretty sure it cant be the Firewall, because If i set up noauth I can connect from my remote pc

Thanks for your answer I descriped my problem a little bit more detailed as you can see, maybe you know an answer. I dont know how this forum works if everybody get informed as soon as somebody answeres but thanks to you both so far i really appreciate it.

I did a little more try and error maybe I did something in gernal wrong but after I did the following it worked:

1. start mongod --bind_ip_all
2. start mongo -host ip adress
3. use admin (no user here even tho i created some before aperently only on local host…)
4. create admin user as written above.
5. restart mongod --auth --bind_ip_all
6. connect from remote pc --> works

Thanks for your help guys propably i need to setup more now but im happy i got this far.

//but now if i connect with compas it tells me in mongod connection accepted but nothing is hown in compas on my remote pc. if i do it in visual studio code i at least get a message that it was successfully
