      Problem Statement/Rationale

      Compass adds authMechanism=DEFAULT to the connection string when username/password auth is selected under advanced connection options. According to the Auth Spec, authMechanism should be omitted if default authMechanism rules are desired. A user submitted a PR for the .NET/C# Driver because it is throwing an exception with the connection string copied from Compass.

      Steps to Reproduce


      1. Open a new Compass window.
      2. Expand Advanced Connection Options.
      3. Select the Authentication tab.
      4. Choose Username/Password.

      Expected Results

      No authMechanism URI option should be present in the connection string.

      Actual Results

      authMechanism=DEFAULT is added to the connection string.
