Hi Sanjay Mange •,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

As I understand, you are not getting access to Azure Cosmos DB with a newly created user.

Could you please let us know how new created was created? via Portal/CLI/Powershell/Code, Network configuration of your Cosmos Account?

You may refer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77125681/php-laravel-mongodb-scram-failure-invalid-salt-length-of-16-in-sasl-step2

I would recommend you to please file a support ticket for deeper investigation and in case if you don't have a support plan, do let us know here so that we can check on other options to unblock you.

Thanks

1. Check Password Complexity: Ensure the password meets the complexity requirements of Cosmos DB. It should have a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
2. Update User Password: Try updating the password for the user to ensure it is properly hashed and meets the required complexity.

      bashCopy code
      db.updateUser(
      
   

3. Verify Connection String: Make sure your connection string is correctly formatted and includes the username and password.

      bashCopy code
      mongodb://username:newComplexPassword@your-cosmosdb-uri:port/dbname?ssl=
   

4. Review Roles and Permissions: Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles and permissions assigned.
