Description

I tried to follow mongodb docs and tried to make a dump of the local mongodb database with no authentication enabled. Compass connects just fine with no parameters

But when I try running

mongodump

it results in the following error message:

Failed: error creating intents to dump: error getting database names: (Unauthorized) there are no users authenticated

The problem is: I don't have authentication mode enabled.

This is either an error on mongodump side (authentication is disabled, and mongodump checks against authenticated users anyways) or a documentation mistake (auth is required for mongodump, which means "mongodump" command example is invalid).
