> Admin accounts currently restrict a few operations, but leave all other
> operations completely open. Many use cases will require all operations to be
> authenticated. This can certainly be done by overriding the
> default_authentication_handler, but I think this very common use case can be
> handled in default_authentication_handler without increasing the complexity
> much.
> Attached is a patch which adds a new config option, "require_valid_user",
> which restricts all operations to authenticated users only. Since CouchDB
> currently only has admins, this means that all operations are restricted to
> admins. In a future CouchDB where there are also normal users, the intention
> is that this would let them pass through as well.
