MongoDB connecting to authenticationdatabase using shell command

Question

When i connect using from the OS shell,

mongo --port 27017 -u "testusr" -p "testpwd"  --authenticationDatabase "testdb"

Instead of switching taking me to testdb, it always logs me into test database? What I am missing here?

db.auth("testusr","testpwd") is working wihtout any authentication issues? How do I redirect to the correct database?

The following works for me

mongo localhost:27017/testdb -u "user" -p "pass"  --authenticationDatabase "testdb"

You can find help(i used in linux)

mongo --help
usage: mongo [options] [db address] [file names (ending in .js)]
db address can be:
foo                   foo database on local machine
192.169.0.5/foo       foo database on 192.168.0.5 machine
192.169.0.5:9999/foo  foo database on 192.168.0.5 machine on port 9999
