Explain how can we use LDAP authentication with password prompt in order to avoid writing it in the command please ? Engineering Description When I try to using mongorestore/mongodump in CLI with password prompt and a LDAP user, the following error is thrown : In [the mongodb documentation|mongorestore — MongoDB Database Tools] we can read : To prompt the user for the password, pass the --username option without --password or specify an empty string as the --password value, as in --password="" . I tried the following command without password argument or with --password="" but each time I got the same error : ????mongorestore -u "$USER" -password="" --authenticationDatabase '$external' --authenticationMechanism 'PLAIN' --db $DB $DB_DIR
How can I use LDAP authentication with password prompt in order to avoid writing it in the command please ? I'm using MongoDB v4.4.5-7 on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. Thanks you beforehand. Best Regards. Lucas |

This was an issue with tools (https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/TOOLS-2963) and the docs are correct. |
