Description

org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.db.nosql.mongo.MongoDBProvider#createNoSQLProvider never uses the username and password attributes to authenticate against the MongoDB database. It checks to ensure that the database is either already authenticated or a username and password are provided, but then it never does anything with the username and password.
