While connecting to MongoDB 3.2 via "mongo" from Debian 9 shell it seems that the password can only be typed manually after being promted for it. Example:

mongo hostname:port/database -u username -p

The goal, however, is for the user to be able to pass the password along with other parameters. Example:

mongo hostname:port/database -u username -p password

Repro steps:

• install Debian 9
• install MongoDB 3.2 using Debian packages
• add some user to MongoDB
• enable authentication in config file
• restart MongoDB
• try connecting

Expected result:

• User is able to pass the password along other connection parameters and is able to login successfully.

Actual result:

• User is still prompted for password despite already passing it with other parameters.
• The problem does not occur for Debian 8 and MongoDB 2.4.
• The problem does not occur for Debian 9 and MongoDB 3.2 when using mongodump / mongorestore.

According to the documentation, passing password as a parameter is possible, so what's going on here?
