Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.11, 0.12
Reporter: Benoit Chesneau
Find attached a patch that add a proxy authentification handler to
couch_httpd_auth.
This handler allows creation of a userCtx objec from a user authenticated
remotly. The client just pass specific headers to CouchDB and the handler
create the userCtx. Headers name can be defined in local.ini. By thefault they
are :
* X-Auth-CouchDB-UserName : username, (x_auth_username in couch_httpd_auth
section)
* X-Auth-CouchDB-Roles : user roles, list of roles separated by a comma
(x_auth_roles in couch_httpd_auth section)
* X-Auth-CouchDB-Token : token to authenticate the authorization (x_auth_token
in couch_httpd_auth section). This token is an hmac-sha1 created from secret
key and username. The secret key should be the same in the client and couchdb
node. secret key is the secret key in couch_httpd_auth section of ini. This
token is optional if secret key isn't defined.
