Description
OIDC auth support for DocumentDB and MongoDB Databases
Discussed in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cosmosdb/discussions/2562
A database cluster that does not support simple username/password authentication. Instead, it only supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) for authentication. Currently, I don't see an option to connect using OIDC in the DocumentDB for VS Code extension.
Expected Behavior:
Ability to authenticate with DocumentDB and MongoDB databases using OIDC.
Support for configuring OIDC authentication parameters within the extension.
Use Case:
This would enable users working in environments that enforce OIDC authentication to connect to database clusters effectively.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the extension's existing DocumentDB and MongoDB connection and authentication flow, then read the linked Discussion 2562 for the OIDC requirements. Done means users can configure the required OIDC parameters and connect to databases that do not support username/password authentication.
