> 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.
