[clearml-server] How to configure external mongodb with username and password

[surya9teja]

Describe the bug a clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I have created an external mongo database when I am passing the values of database as follows using helm charts

mongodb:
    enabled: false
externalServices:
    mongodbConnectionStringAuth: mongodb://user:password@hostname:27017/boaml?authsource=admin
    mongodbConnectionStringBackend: mongodb://user:password@hostname:27017/boaml?authsource=admin

It is throwing the following error

Solved by passing the values in a string format and used +srv for mongodb

mongodbConnectionStringAuth: '"mongodb+srv://user:passworf@hostname.mongodb.net/"'
mongodbConnectionStringBackend: '"mongodb+srv://user:passworf@hostname.mongodb.net/"'
