    Description

      db.getSiblingDB("$external").auth(
      		 
          {
      		 
               mechanism: "PLAIN",
      		 
               user: "jsmith",
      		 
               pwd:  "xxx",
      		 
          }

      PLAIN is confusing. It will be more intuitive for users if we called it LDAP.
