Using MONGODB-CR auth fails with mongodb 3.x since 3.x doesn't default to CR.

Hunk 3.4.1, Hunk App for MongoDB 1.0.4, mongodb 3.2.1

Looking at the App documentation I can see that MongoDB App allows to specify 4 types of authentication mechanism

vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = X509
vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]

vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = Kerberos
vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]

vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = CR
vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]
vix.mongodb.auth.password = [password as plain text]

vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism = Plain
vix.mongodb.auth.username = [username]
vix.mongodb.auth.source = [source]

The value for 'vix.mongodb.auth.mechanism' is case-insensitive.
