user@NHTTPR# mongoimport /dataset/products.json -h localhost:27000 -u m103-application-user -p “m103-application-pass” --authenticationDatabase admin --db applicationData --drop --collection products

the solution was to put single quotes (') around the password. instead of double quotes ( or remove the quotes around the password entirely)

mongoimport /dataset/products.json -h localhost:27000 -u m103-application-user -p 'm103-application-pass' --authenticationDatabase admin --db applicationData --drop --collection products 2021-04-07T06:20:25.025+0000 connected to: mongodb://localhost:27000/ 2021-04-07T06:20:25.026+0000 dropping: applicationData.products 2021-04-07T06:20:25.423+0000 9966 document(s) imported successfully. 0 document(s) failed to import. user@NHTTPR#
