Jeremy Lautman commented on LOG4J2-403:
---------------------------------------
Just came across this old story. While having no authentication is clearly
frowned upon, as long as Mongo allows no credentials log4j shouldn't be adding
additional requirements should it?
> MongoDB appender, username and password should be optional.

> Key: LOG4J2-403
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-403
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
> Reporter: Poorna Subhash P
> Priority: Minor
>
> In development environments it is usual to create MongoDB without any
> users/restrictions.
> In MongoDB appender if I don't provide usrname,password or if I provide empty
> values, its throwing exception even without attempting for connection.
> Getting following error: ERROR The database is not already authenticated so
> you must supply a username and password for the MongoDB provider.
> It would be nice if there is an ability to connect to MongoDB without user
> details (making them optional fields).
