from the same machine(win7 sp1), through my program, I can connect to mongodb server by kerberos.  note my own program uses mongo C driver 1.7.

however, when I uses mongodb compass db, I can't connect to the same server by kerberos successfully.

I checked the mongodb server log, it shows:

2018-08-24T07:35:48.213+0000 I NETWORK [listener] connection accepted from 10.154.10.101:27604 #1598 (1 connection now open)

there's a slash symbol in my principal name:

 testkrb/db-mongo-kerberos.cloudapp.net@xxxxxCLOUDAPP.NET,

I am not user if the special symbol make the connection failed. Could you please help to check, thanks.
