      The mongo shell shows a poor error message when attempting to authenticate with Kerberos and Cyrus SASL GSSAPI is not installed. When attempting to authenticate, it shows the following error:

      Error: Missing expected field "mechanism"
0

      While correct, it is not helpful. We should provide a more relevant error message to the user.
