calonso opened a new issue #823: Healthcheck endpoint authentication should be optional URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/823 ## Expected Behavior When setting `chttpd.request_valid_user`the healthcheck endpoint `/_up` should not be protected. ## Current Behavior Setting `chttpd.request_valid_user` also requires `/_up` endpoint to be authenticated. ## Possible Solution Either unprotect the `/_up` endpoint always, which doesn't sound like very dangerous as nothing but the health of the system is exposed there or make it configurable. ## Context Currently some cloud providers (Google in this case) don't allow credentials to be given to healthcheck configurations. Setting `chttpd.request_valid_user` is something very desirable as you enforce authentication all over the place, but you can't combine both in this case as healthchecks will fail if auth is enforced. ## Your Environment * Version used: 2.1.0~trusty * Browser Name and version: Doesn't apply * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Ubuntu 14.04 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
