"The connection tests failed. Authentication failed"

Thanks <@U01AS8LGX41>. The funny thing is that I tried using same credential on  Navicat and it was fine. Maybe I don't know how to do same on airbyte or my uri is not well constructed

i'm looking in the code where that error is thrown.

looks like
```uri = "mongodb://#{@config['user']}:#{@config['password']}@#{@config['host']}:#{@config['port']}/#{@config['database']}?authSource=#{@config['auth_source']}"```
is how we parse the uri

based on the values your inputting in the UI do they make sense in the context of how this string is parsing them?
