OIDC Workforce (Human Flow) support for Database tools
Until now, MongoDB tools have exclusively supported authentication mechanisms designed for human users. With the recent addition of OAuth 2.0 support, we’ve shifted toward an application-based authentication method. However, all other supported authentication methods remain user-centric. To maintain consistency and address user needs, could we consider adding support for OIDC Workforce (Human User) authentication as well?

For legal reason, we are obliged any non-programmatic data-access having logged on a per user base. This requires OIDC integration for any tool being able to be used interactively as any user must be defined in a global directory, allowing authentication via standard mechanism, aka directory federation integration.
