---------------------------------------

             Summary: 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).
