Well cookie auth is an handler, so you could disable it and use default handler. On the other hand I think couchdb should design best/default practices for authentification/rights (ie place of user db, roles & ...) so eventually you could use your own auth handler on any set of documents. More over having a good authentification handler in couchdb allow distribution of couchapps with some authentification, which is very cool and don't hurt all other legacy usages of a db. - benoît
