fkaempfer commented on issue #1183: Proxy Authentication doesn't work when proxy_use_secret=true URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1183#issuecomment-374611080 Isn't this working as expected? The only thing that's confusing is that you have to send the SHA-1 sum of the username using the secret instead of the secret directly: In NodeJS this should give you the token: > crypto.createHmac('sha1', 'mysecret').update('username').digest('hex') Then with curl you should get: ``` curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/_session -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Auth-CouchDB-UserName: username" -H "X-Auth-CouchDB-Roles: myadmin" -H "X-Auth-CouchDB-Token: "7bdfca0f0926fe4255440da35417cd2dc79507e0" {"ok":true,"userCtx":{"name":"username","roles":["myadmin"]},"info":{"authentication_db":"_users","authentication_handlers":["cookie","proxy","default"],"authenticated":"proxy"}} ```
