title: connect to documentdb using robomongo
body: <p>I have a Document DB (using the DocumentDB interface, NOT the MongoDb interface), so the connection string looks like:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>AccountEndpoint=<a href="https://SomeDatabase.documents.azure.com:443/;AccountKey=xxxxx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://SomeDatabase.documents.azure.com:443/;AccountKey=xxxxx</a>;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>it does NOT look like this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mongodb://SomeDatabase:xxxxx==@SomeDatabase.documents.azure.com:10255/?ssl=true&amp;replicaSet=globaldb</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Question:
  How do I connect using RoboMongo or other MongoDb tools/code?</p>
  
  <p>The stuff I looked at said things like take the username (that it shows in the MongoDb version of Cosmos DB (which won't help, as it is a totally different database and the connection string there won't work for apps that need the DocumentDb interface)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this,or by 'adding support for MongoDB interface to Document DB' like adding the ability to talk to a Ms-SQL Server using MongoDB because you can always download MongoDb an install that on the same machine.  (and not be able to get any data passed between them)</p>
