Mongo DB connector improved handling of 'username' and 'password'

[dcampillo]

Problem Description

The connector configuration doesn't make the username or password required, which allow the user to connect to a MongoDB instance without a 'username' and 'password'. Not a good practise in production, but somehow acceptable on lab or desktop test environment.

If the username and password are empty, the connector throw an exception "TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()".

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] -->

Proposed Solution

Both username and password are of NoneType if not set in the connector settings in Kibana Solutin: Validate that bother username and password are NOT of NoneType, instead of validating the len() of NoneType

Alternatives

Option 1:

• Make. username and password as required in the get_default_configuration

Thanks for submitting this issue @dcampillo. Do you know what version connector you were running when you encountered this?

Hi,

This issue is present in version 8.10, 8.11 and 8.12. and probably all previous versions, I haven't checked.

I double checked and the bug is only present in 8.10 - latest 8.11 and 8.12 don't have this problem.

@dcampillo can you verify that this problem does not happen on newer version of framework? Can you upgrade to 8.11/8.12 if it's working well?
