Followup with resolution.
Couple of issues compounded the wonkiness but the big takeaway is that the
sync bucket config allows username and password to be specified in the url
or via `username` and `password` members in the dict. However, the shadow
db config will only work with the username/password keywords. I figured
this out when I realized the dbConfig stanza goes out of it's way to
initialize user/pass from the url if not set but doesn't do the same thing
for the shadowConfig. (see
https://github.com/couchbase/sync_gateway/blob/1da4ee46a91c4cad15074233fcdd7cfd4603ee63/src/github.com/couchbaselabs/sync_gateway/rest/config.go#L119
)
Also - and I had to dig to find this - the "Administrator" account is NOT
the correct one. The errors here are a bit esoteric and useless to me.
The correct thing to do is set the SASL password per the bucket via admin
console. Then, in your sync config, set username=NameOfBucket and
password=(the sasl password you set in the console). I spent a ton of
time thinking I wasn't connecting to the sync bucket, but instead my issue
was with the shadow bucket.
I'm sure this is all documented somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Maybe
my goof will help someone else.
