Robomongo: Connect via $external authentication, eg ActiveDirectory (LDAP)

[cwash]

I am able to connect to a MongoDB instance configured for ActiveDirectory (LDAP) authentication, using some Java Driver code similar to that found on Authenticate the User in the Mongo Shell.

This simply uses the PLAIN mechanism, my credentials and "$external" as the source. (I also cut off the digest property as directed in the link above). This works from my application code, but I can't seem to get Robomongo to connect to this same instance. Is there something I am missing or is this not supported?

@cwash Connecting to $external databases via MongoDB Enterprise isn't supported yet. It looks like the required code change may just be setting digestPassword:false for external authentication.

Hi, I see this issue was postponed to the 1.0 release, not the 0.9 anymore.
I would state one more time it would be super cool to have this feature, because, as I understand this is the most correct way to store the credentials in the mongo enterprise solutions. So the mongo setups which are very correct in the theoretical way are using this approach.

However, it's not possible to browse the target databases via Robmongo for such cases :(

Thanks for the product, looking forward to have this feature implemented.
