Error when trying to create dump of mongodb database

Question

i tried to create a dump of a mongodb database on remote server which is running centos,nginx,mongodb v4.0.18 using the following command..

mongodump --host localhost:27017 --authenticationDatabase admin --username <uname> --password <password> --db <db> --out <path to dump>

but im getting the following error Failed: error connecting to db server: server returned error on SASL authentication step: Authentication failed.

Is this a duplicate of: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38744131/server-returned-error-on-sasl-authentication-step-authentication-failed ? — rfestag, May 16 '20 at 17:38
Sorry, missed that you had `authenticationDatabase` in there. Another comment in there mentions the password having special characters. Have you tried quoting your password? — rfestag, May 16 '20 at 17:52

I just replaced --host localhost:27017 for --port 27017. My db is in localhost too. I omitted --db <db> --out <path to dump> too. I point to my db with the --authenticationDatabase flag.

I hope this helps.
