-------------------------------------------
Summary: Documentation not fully correct for
couch_httpd_auth/secret
Key: COUCHDB-2794
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2794
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Nathan Vander Wilt
The documentation for couch_httpd_auth/secret [currently
states](http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/config/auth.html#couch_httpd_auth/secret)
that the value is:
> The secret token used for Proxy Authentication method.
This does appear to be the case, but it's worth noting that AFAICT this secret
is also used to sign cookie authentication as well — i.e. changing it will "log
out" all current cookie-based sessions.
