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

To the committer: Since I do not have access to a mongo database that requires 
authentication, I could not verify that the runtime exception is thrown from 
database.getCollectionNames() if a database is not authenticated and requires 
it. This should be verified before committing to the code base.

> MongoDB appender, username and password should be optional.

> 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).
