 Description   

When creating new connections in a shell .js script, it is not possible to use the authentication credentials passed in on the command line. If a new mechanism were made available to db.auth(), e.g. "commandLine", it would no longer be necessary to embed user credentials in shell scripts that need to open multiple connections.
