Explain how can we use LDAP authentication with password prompt in order to avoid writing it in the command please ?

v4.4
Hi Team,
When I try to using mongorestore/mongodump in CLI with password prompt and a LDAP user, the following error is thrown :
error parsing command line options: password required for PLAIN
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
