RNCTX opened a new issue #2872: URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2872
## Expected Behavior Per [docs](https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/config/auth.html#server-administrators), adding an admin user to the `[admins]` section of the ini should create a new admin on server reload. ## Current Behavior Admins created via local.ini `[admins]` cannot log in to the web ui. The exact same user/password created via the web ui can log in to the web ui. ## Possible Solution Not sure... ``` [notice] 2020-05-06T01:07:43.192755Z couchdb@127.0.0.1 <0.255.0> -------- rexi_server : cluster stable [notice] 2020-05-06T01:07:43.192902Z couchdb@127.0.0.1 <0.259.0> -------- rexi_buffer : cluster stable [warning] 2020-05-06T01:08:42.009138Z couchdb@127.0.0.1 <0.1030.0> 39b7eceb33 couch_httpd_auth: Authentication failed for user Administrator from 192.168.1.1 ``` ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs) 1. Add apache couchdb repo to sources.list 2. fresh install of couchdb 3. edit /opt/couchdb/etc/local.ini, add another admin to bottom of the file 4. sudo service couchdb stop && sudo service couchdb start 5. the user will be created in local.d/10-admins.ini, but cannot log in to the web ui 6. log in with admin created by dpkg configuration, delete the new ini admin you added 7. re-add the same user/pass combo in the web ui that could not log in from the ini, now it can log in. I'm creating the user "Administrator" (with the capital A) and an `openssl rand -base64 32` randomly generated 32 char password to reproduce this. ## Your Environment * Version used: 3.1.0 * Browser Name and version: Chrome v81 * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Ubuntu 18.04 * Link to your project: N/A ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
