How to find the Mongodb credentials from the config file?

Question

I've recently joined to a project that uses Mongodb. I'm a newbie to this database. I need to find the database credentials to get an export of it (as a backup) before everything.

The doc says, the connect() method would have these parameters:

connect(url, user, password)

But I don't see that syntax in the real project. Here is the content of mongoose.js file:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
mongoose.connect(
  'mongodb://bpAdmin:Bp1400#@32.150.189.207:27017/bpDB?authSource=admin',
  {
    useCreateIndex: true,
    useFindAndModify: true,
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    autoIndex: true,
  }
);
mongoose.set('useCreateIndex', true);

module.exports = {
  mongoose,
};

(The IP and some other names just changed because of some security reasons)

Could you please tell me what's the user and password and db name?

Answer 1

Check out the format in offical documentation on connection string,

mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,...hostN[:portN]][/[defaultauthdb][?options]]

So for your questions,

info	value
username	bpAdmin
password	Bp1400#
db name used for auth	admin
default db to connect to	bpDB
