title: Understanding MongoDb connection strings
body: <p>I am working with Mongodb as a database for my asp.net mvc front end site. I have MongoDB running on 3 servers, in a replica set, a primary, secondary and an arbiter. Connecting to this is the 3 front end web servers that performs CRUD operations on the data held in Mongo. I have a number of questions on my setup that I would like clarification on.</p>
  
  <p>This is my connection string from C#</p>
  
  <pre><code>server=myprimary.com:27017,mysecondary.com:27017;replicaset=MySet;safe=true;database=MyDatabase
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it correct not to include arbiter in this connection string?</p>
  
  <p>When I work with sql server, I set up all my connection strings with integrated security. What is the best practise for similar in Mongo connection strings?</p>
