Environment Setup

parse-server version 2.2.6

Steps to reproduce

When I modify databaseUri to a cluster "mongo://....." ,I come up the error of "MongoError: Authentication failed" ,but the same connection string can work in the old version of parse server (2.1.3).
I change the connection string to a singe node mlab ,I can pass the indentify and get the instalations data. I doubt that there are some issue in the mongo libs.

I found the reason .
The url format makes the connenction string authentication failed

I ran into this as well and the solution above fixed it. For me it was due to a / character and uppercase letters in my password. Manually encoding the slash worked without modifying any code. See here: #986 (comment)
