> 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.
