  • uri: A mongoc_uri_t.
  • properties: A bson_t .

Replaces all the options in URI's "authMechanismProperties" after the URI has been parsed from a string.

Returns false if the option cannot be set, for example if properties is not valid BSON data.

* "CANONICALIZE_HOST_NAME" and accept its default.
*/ BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&props, "SERVICE_NAME", "my_service"); mongoc_uri_set_mechanism_properties (uri, &props); bson_destroy (&props);
