Hi,
I tried to connect my MongoDB which is auth-enabled

login:password@mongodb.example.com

It keeps saying malformed URI, how can I solve it?

That should work. What Genghis version are you running? And which backend?

I am using rubygem version 2.1.6

Oh, I got it. You need to authenticate against a DB. If your user has global privileges, just authenticate against admin:

login:password@mongodb.example.com/admin

I'll make this a better experience in v2.2.0.

Note that this is only a problem with the Ruby backend. Apparently the PHP MongoDB driver implicitly authenticates against admin if no database is specified, but the Ruby driver throws an exception. I'll make the Ruby backend act like the PHP driver.
