Important

Dedicated Cluster Limitation

If you run the C# driver with .NET 5.0 on Linux, you cannot connect to MongoDB 4.0 on dedicated clusters in Atlas. This issue applies only to Atlas dedicated clusters. This issue does not impact cluster tiers M0 through M5. If you run an earlier .NET or .NET Core version and want to upgrade to .NET 5.0, contact MongoDB Atlas Support.

Your driver version must be compatible with your version of the MongoDB server. We recommend choosing the latest driver that is compatible with your MongoDB server version to use the latest database features and prepare for future version upgrades.

For a list of driver versions that contain the full set of functionality for your version of the MongoDB server, check the compatibility matrix for your MongoDB driver.

For a list of driver versions that you can use to connect to Serverless instances, see Minimum Driver Versions for Serverless Instances.

To connect to your sharded cluster using a driver and an optimized connection string, you must use at least one of the following driver versions:

Driver
Version

1.19.0

3.7.0beta1

2.13.0

1.6.0

4.3.0

4.10.0

2.5.0

4.1.0

1.11.0 (Extension)
1.10.0 (Library)

3.12.0

2.16.0

2.1.0

4.3.0

1.2.0

Clients must support TLS to connect to an Atlas cluster.

Clients must support the SNI TLS extension to connect to an Atlas M0 Free cluster or M2/M5 Shared cluster. To verify that your MongoDB driver supports the SNI TLS extension, refer to the Compatibility section of your driver's documentation. If the driver is compatible with MongoDB 4.2 and later, it supports the SNI TLS extension.

To access a cluster, you must connect from an IP address on the Atlas project's IP access list. If you need to add an IP address to the IP access list, you can do so in the Connect dialog box. You can also add the IP address from the Network Access tab.

To access a cluster, you must create a database user with access to the desired databases on your Atlas cluster. Database users are separate from Atlas users. Database users have access to MongoDB databases, while Atlas users have access to the Atlas application itself.

You can create a database user to access your Atlas cluster in the Connect dialog box. You can also add the database user from the Cluster view.

  1. If it's not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

  2. If it's not already displayed, select your desired project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.

  3. If it's not already displayed, click Clusters in the sidebar.

    The Clusters page displays.

2

Click Connect for the cluster to which you want to connect.

3

Choose Connection Type from the set of available buttons.

Note

Options Display if Feature Enabled

Atlas displays the connection type options after you enable Private IP for Peering, Private Endpoint, or both. If you haven't enabled either feature, no buttons display and Connection Type defaults to Standard.

Use this connection type for allowed public IP addresses.

Use this connection type if you enabled peering:

  • For Google Cloud or Azure and are connecting with your driver from a peered network, or

  • For AWS and are connecting with your driver from a peered network which uses a custom DNS service.

If neither of these apply, add your IP address to your IP access list and use the Standard Connection string. If you are connecting directly to Atlas from an office or home network, this might be the preferred option.

Note

Peer must be available

You can't select this option unless one of your peers is marked as AVAILABLE. To check the status of your peers:

In Atlas, go to the Network Access page for your project.

  1. If it's not already displayed, select the organization that contains your project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

  2. If it's not already displayed, select your project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.

  3. In the sidebar, click Network Access under the Security heading.

    The Network Access page displays.

Note

Multi-Cloud Clusters

If your application isn't hosted on the same cloud service provider as your cluster's primary, the application can only perform secondary reads.

With multi-cloud clusters, consider adding the readPreference connection option to your connection string. Use one of the following values:

Use the connection string for the appropriate interface endpoint if you are connecting with your driver over a Private Endpoint connection either because your driver:

  • Runs inside your cloud provider network, or

  • Has transitive network access to your cloud provider network.

  • You want to use an optimized connection string.

If none of these apply, add your IP address to your IP access list and use the Standard Connection string. If you are connecting directly to Atlas from an office or home network, this might be the preferred option.

Note

You can't select this option unless your configured PrivateLink connection is ready to use. To check the status of your AWS PrivateLink:

In Atlas, go to the Network Access page for your project.

  1. If it's not already displayed, select the organization that contains your project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

  2. If it's not already displayed, select your project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.

  3. In the sidebar, click Network Access under the Security heading.

    The Network Access page displays.

4

Add a Connection IP Address

Important

Skip this step if Atlas indicates in the Setup connection security step that you have already configured an IP access list entry in your cluster. To manage the IP access list, see Add Entries to the Access List.

Atlas allows standard client connections to the cluster from entries in the project's IP access list. The project IP access list differs from the API access list, which restricts API access to specific IP or CIDR addresses.

If the IP access list is empty, Atlas prompts you to add an IP address to the project's IP access list. You can either:

  • Click Add Your Current IP Address to allow access from your current IP address.

  • Click Add an IP Address to add a single IP address or a CIDR-notated range of addresses.

Provide an optional description for the newly added IP address or CIDR range. Click Add IP Address to add the address to the IP access list.

Provide an optional description for the newly added IP address or CIDR range. Click Add IP Address to add the address to the IP access list.

  1. Under Choose Connection Type, select Private Endpoint.

  2. If you see the Private Link Type options, select one of the following options:

    • Optimized SRV Connection for load-balanced connections.

    • Legacy SRV Connection for non-load-balanced connections.

    To learn more, see Improve Connection Performance for Sharded Clusters Behind a Private Endpoint.

  3. Under Choose Private Endpoint, select the endpoint you want to use.

5

Important

Skip this step if Atlas indicates in the Setup connection security step that you have at least one database user configured in your project. To manage existing database users, see Configure Database Users.

To access the cluster, you need a MongoDB user with access to the desired database or databases on the cluster in your project. If your project has no MongoDB users, Atlas prompts you to create a new user with the Atlas Admin role.

  1. Enter the new user's Username.

  2. Enter a Password for this new user or click Autogenerate Secure Password.

  3. Click Create Database User to save the user.

Use this user to connect to your cluster in the following step.

Once you have added an IP address to your IP access list and added a database user, click Choose Your Connection Method.

6

In the Choose a connection method step, select Drivers.

7

Select your driver and version from the dropdown menus. The code sample containing a connection string displays. Replace <password> with the password specified when you created your database user.

Note

If your passwords, database names, or connection strings contain reserved URI characters, you must escape the characters. For example, if your password is @bc123, you must escape the @ character when specifying the password in the connection string, such as %40bc123. To learn more, see Special Characters in Connection String Password.

To learn more, see Driver Compatibility.

In the following example, you authenticate and connect to an Atlas cluster by using a URI connection string. Replace the placeholders in the example with your credentials and deployment details.

Note

To connect to an Atlas M0 Free cluster or M2/M5 shared cluster, you must use a C driver version that supports MongoDB 4.0 and later. For complete documentation on compatibility between the C driver and MongoDB, see the MongoDB compatibility matrix. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of the driver.

client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb+srv://<db_username>:<db_password>@<clusterName>.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority");
db = mongoc_client_get_database (client, "<databaseName>");

Recommended Driver Versions

All

See the MongoDB compatibility matrix for the latest recommended driver versions.

MongoDB 5.0 and later

Version 1.11 and later

Note

The following configuration options only apply if running the C driver in single-threaded mode.

MongoDB drivers automatically attempt server selection following a cluster election or failover event. By default, the C driver immediately raises an error if its first attempt to select a server fails. The following configuration settings may improve application connectivity to an Atlas cluster at the expense of spending more time in a server selection loop:

  • Set serverSelectionTryOnce to false to direct the C driver to perform server selection up to the time limit defined by serverSelectionTimeoutMS.

  • Lower the serverSelectionTimeoutMS to 15000 from the default of 30000. MongoDB elections typically take 10 seconds, but can be as fast as 5 seconds on Atlas. Setting this value to 15 seconds (15000 milliseconds) covers the upper bound of election plus additional time for latency.

Note

To connect to an Atlas M0 Free cluster or M2/M5 shared cluster, you must use a C++ driver version that supports MongoDB 4.0 and later. For complete documentation on compatibility between the C++ driver and MongoDB, see the MongoDB compatibility matrix. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of the driver.

#include <mongocxx/client.hpp>
#include <mongocxx/instance.hpp>
