6. For the Connection String field, as mentioned in the MongoDB documentation for Connection String URI Format. The standard URI connection scheme has the below format:
 

mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,...hostN[:portN]][/[defaultauthdb][?options]]

       -username= support
       -password= Passw0rd
       -database host= localhost
       -port number= 27017
