I’m getting the below error when trying to create a MongoClient using the connection string got from Azure MongoDB CosmosDB.
com.mongodb.MongoSecurityException: Exception authenticating MongoCredential{mechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1, userName='test-cosmos-account', source='admin', password=<hidden>, mechanismProperties=<hidden>}
Caused by: com.mongodb.MongoCommandException: Command failed with error 18 (AuthenticationFailed): 'Invalid key' on server test-cosmos-account-westus.mongo.cosmos.azure.com:10255. The full response is {"ok": 0.0, "errmsg": "Invalid key", "code": 18, "codeName": "AuthenticationFailed"}
I’m using the Java driver - org.mongodb.mongodb-driver-sync Version: 4.8.2
Can anyone help me on this?
Hi @Shaktisingh ,
I verified the connection string used to connect to CosmosDB for the MongoDB account, and there are no issues with it. I’m using the exact connection string displayed in the UI.
I also tried using the latest version of the MongoDB Java driver (5.1.3), but I still encounter the same exception intermittently. Could you please clarify what specifically triggers the “Invalid key” error message? What is the server expecting when it returns this response?

Hi Yogesh •,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
As I understand, you want to connect to Mongo Client but getting "Invalid key"
Please double check your credentials used for connection, network settings, TLS, Drivers, etc
Use latest drivers and version and recheck.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks
