What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

Allow developers to connect their local development environment to a MongoDB Atlas cluster using Workforce Identity Federation.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

When a user (human) needs to use the application locally, a browser window should open with the IdP UI so the user can log in using their email and password and then be redirected back to the application with a token.

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

Users could authenticate using their email in the same way they do with Compass or mongosh, without needing to implement a custom callback.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

Today, a workaround is to use a service account and implement a custom callback with client credentials (client ID + client secret or certificate), so the user can authenticate.
