We want to know if the following is possible now or in the near

it is possible we probably want to add the CouchDB to our standard

- Access to a database based on the username and password
This will be supported imminently. I'm currently working on Jan's
OAuth/Authorization proposal, which includes supporting built-in roles
of "owner", "writer", "reader" (along with custom roles), which should
give us the ability to restrict access to documents in particular
databases based on username/password.
- Require that the connections comes from a "trusted" IP or from any
IP (can
also be done by a firewall)
The authentication/authorization stuff is designed to be pluggable so
supporting additional requirements like this should be as easy as
writing a custom auth handler and plugging this into your local.ini on
your server.
- The option to change rights and/or passwords for a user with
commands (so
it can be done automatically)
One of our design goals is that everything can be done over HTTP, so
this should be possible to do via curl or custom shell scripts very
easily.
- The option to create/delete users/databases with commands (so it
can be
done automatically)
Again, everything is done over HTTP so writing shell scripts to do
this would be very straightforward.
- 1 instance for multiple databases (not an instance per database)
Once we get the extended authorization stuff in as above, this should
be possible out of the box.
If most (or all) options above are possible we will probably start
soon with
offering it on our shared platform.
Excellent, good luck!
Hope that helps,
