      If a client connects to a database and attempts to authenticate as multiple users, by performing multiple authentication exchanges on multiple databases, we should:

      • Emit a log warning indicating that this behaviour is deprecated
      • Reject the second authentication attempt if they provided an API version and specified {apiStrict: true} for their connection. We should not enforce this limitation if testCommands are enabled, to prevent it from impacting our integration testing infrastructure.
