Filipe Manana commented on COUCHDB-661:
---------------------------------------
Yes Brian, I do share the same vision.
The idea, which I pretend to discuss soon in the @dev mailing list, is to use a
view which will map user names and roles to lists of dbs. This view would exist
in the design doc of a special db named "_dbs" (or whatever).
I will send a mail asap to the dev mailing list presenting a partial solution
and pointing out some technical issues, as well as to collect some feeback
about them.
cheers

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Environment: trunk / 0.11
> Reporter: Filipe Manana

> As discussed in the auth roadmap mail, sent by Chris to @dev, the _all_dbs
> URI should only list the DBs that are accessible to the user.
> The following patch is a naive solution. It doesn't scale for CouchDB servers
> with millions of DBs. Regarding this scaling detail, I'll discuss soon in the
> @dev mailing list some ideas.
