Jeremy Lautman commented on LOG4J2-403:
---------------------------------------

I don't have permissions to write a branch to the github repo, so this is the 
code snippet:

{code:java}
if (!database.isAuthenticated()) {
            if (username != null && username.length() > 0 && password != null 
&& password.length() > 0) {
                description += ", username=" + username + ", passwordHash="
                        + NameUtil.md5(password + 
MongoDbProvider.class.getName());
                MongoDbConnection.authenticate(database, username, password);
            } else {
                try {
                    database.getCollectionNames(); // Ensure that the database 
actually requires authentication
                }
                catch(Exception e){
                    LOGGER.error("The database is not already authenticated so 
you must supply a username and password for the MongoDB provider.");
                    return null;
                }
            }
        }
{code}

> MongoDB appender, username and password should be optional.

>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Appenders
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9

>            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).
