------------------------------------
Assignee: Nick Williams
> MongoDBProvider won't work with databases that don't have authentication set
> up
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-474
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
> Reporter: Tal Liron
> Assignee: Nick Williams
> Attachments: MongoDbLog4jProvider.java
>
>
> The problem is in line 178:
> {code}
> if (!database.isAuthenticated()) {
> {code}
> This assumes that isAuthenticated() returns true when authentication isn't
> need. However, that is incorrect: databases without authentication configured
> will return false here, in which case the provider will not be able to work
> them.
> I suggest simply removing this "if" (and also the "else" code from 183-187)
> -- if authentication is required, errors will happen soon enough.
> Unfortunately the MongoDB API doesn't let you know this until you try.
