Question

# Turn on/off security.  Off is currently the default


#noauth = true
#auth = true

my mongodb user conf file

 "mongodb": {
    "hosts": ["127.0.0.1"],
    "db": "openhab",
    "user": "",
    "password": ""
}

Wild guess here but could it be that you should omit the user and password fields as technically you are sending user and password but they are empty strings? — Marco Yammine, Aug 20 '18 at 11:54
I understand but have you tried `"mongodb": { "hosts": ["127.0.0.1"], "db": "openhab" }` without the fields `user` and `password` — Marco Yammine, Aug 20 '18 at 11:57
Also `#noauth = true` is commented. My guess is you want `noauth = true` without the comment hash? — Marco Yammine, Aug 20 '18 at 11:59
after delete of username and password fields it worked thanks — bhupathi turaga, Aug 20 '18 at 12:09
I will move the comment as an answer for others in the future. Don't forget to accept it. — Marco Yammine, Aug 20 '18 at 13:04

An empty string is still parsed as a value so for you to login without auth you need to omit the user and password fields. So the correct solution is this:

"mongodb": {
    "hosts": ["127.0.0.1"],
    "db": "openhab"
}
