After setting the CLASSPATH, the required connection information needs to be passed in the form of a connection URL. The following example includes the properties required for connecting with user ID and password authentication.

Connection URL Syntax

The connection URL takes the following form: 

jdbc:datadirect:mongodb://host:port;AuthenticationDatabase=auth_db;
     DatabaseName=database;User=username;Password=password;[property=value[;...]];

where:

host

specifies the name or the IP address of the MongoDB server to which you want to connect.

For example, myserver.
port

specifies the port number of the server listener. The default is 27017.

auth_db

(recommended) specifies the database in which your user ID was created. This value allows you to explicitly select a set of credentials and permissions when the same user ID was created in multiple databases on the server.

Note: We recommend specifying a value for this option when using user ID and password authentication (AuthenticationMethod=userIdPassword) to ensure that the correct permissions are used for your connection.
database
(optional) specifies the name of the database to which you want to connect. This value is used as the default qualifier for unqualified table names in SQL queries.
Important: This value is case-insensitive if you have access privileges to query the list of databases on the server. If you do not have access, this value is case-sensitive.
user
(optional) specifies the user name that is used to connect to the MongoDB database. For example, jsmith.
password
(optional) specifies the password used to connect to your MongoDB database.
property=value
specifies connection property settings. Multiple properties are separated by a semi-colon.
Note: The User and Password properties are not required to be stored in the connection string. They can also be passed separately by the application.

The following example connection string includes the properties required for connecting with user ID and password authentication.

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
 ("jdbc:datadirect:mongodb://myserver:27017;AuthenticationDatabase=mydb2;
        DatabaseName=mydb;user=jsmith;password=secret;");
