            <title>[DOCS-9833] Confirm that MongoDB ignores authSource for X509 auth with no username</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCS-9833</link>
                <project id="10380" key="DOCS">Documentation</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/connection-string/#urioption.authSource&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;authSource&lt;/a&gt; states:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;MongoDB will ignore authSource values if the connection string specifies no username.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Per SPEC-659, usernames are not required for &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/master/core/security-x.509/&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;MONGODB-X509&lt;/a&gt;. It&apos;s not clear to me if X509 expects an authSource of &quot;$external&quot;. If so, the above statement should be revised.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/blob/1.5.3/src/mongoc/mongoc-uri.c#L743&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;According to the C driver&lt;/a&gt;, authSource is expected to be &lt;tt&gt;$external&lt;/tt&gt; for GSSAPI and X509.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                            <comment id="4943080" author="jmikola@gmail.com" created="Tue, 1 Nov 2022 03:08:07 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;Just checked &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/connection-string/#urioption.authSource&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/connection-string/#urioption.authSource&lt;/a&gt; and noted the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PLAIN (LDAP), GSSAPI (Kerberos), and MONGODB-AWS (IAM) authentication mechanisms require that authSource be set to $external, as these mechanisms delegate credential storage to external services.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MongoDB will ignore authSource values if no username is provided, either in the connection string or via the --username parameter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Drivers may default authSource to &quot;$external&quot; for X509, but that is indeed a valid option. It still seems inaccurate to say the option is ignored entirely. &lt;/p&gt;
