wohali commented on issue #1018: CouchDB 2.1 OAuth2 Authentication method URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1018#issuecomment-358084077 CouchDB's OAuth implementation was outdated, unmaintained and (in some regards) faulty. CouchDB 2.x implements a proxy authentication mechanism. Using this, you can have any external process handle authentication for you and pass on the appropriate credentials. CouchDB Documentation: http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/api/server/authn.html#proxy-authentication One implementation of OAuth 2.0 that is known to work is using Apache HTTP Server as a reverse proxy in front of CouchDB. You can use something like [mod_auth_openidc](https://github.com/zmartzone/mod_auth_openidc) to add this support. I don't know what is coming to CouchDB in the future, but for now, this is your best option. I do know that there are real customers using the proxy auth solution in production.
