Unable to connect to MongoLab "auth fails" error

Viewed 26287

I am new to mongo. Recently created an account in mongoLab.

I am trying to connect to the database using the below statement.

mongo ds039487.mongolab.com:39487/webbies -u <dbuser> -p <dbpassword>

Getting the below error

MongoDB shell version: 2.4.8
connecting to: ds039487.mongolab.com:39487/webbies
Wed Dec 11 22:30:16.686 Error: 18 { code: 18, ok: 0.0, errmsg: "auth fails" } at src/mongo/shell/db.js:228
exception: login failed

Note: dbuser - is an User created in mongoLab

What is missing in this? Kindly advice.
