Hello,

I am having trouble connecting to a remote server with simple authentication. It was working with moped and now that I've switched to mongodb driver it does not work. Here is what I do :

#ruby
client = Mongo::Client.new([ 'somehost:someport' ], :database => 'some_db', username: "some_user", password: "some_password")
client.collections

#returns
Mongo::Error::OperationFailure: not authorized for query on some_db.system.namespaces (13)

Whereas when I do the equivalent using mongodb shell :

#shell
mongo somehost:someport

use some_db
db.auth("some_user", "some_password")
db.system.namespaces.find() #equivalent to `show collections`

#results
list of collections

The remote server runs MongoDB 2.6.11
