Hi Robert (Campbell), the replicator uses the authentication credentials you supply in your POST to /_replicate to open any local DBs. If you're doing this through Futon, it may be that Futon is not sending an Authorization header in that replication request. I suspect that if you try the request manually, e.g.
curl http://user:[email protected]:5984/_replicate -d '{"source":"http://source.net:5984/dbname";, "target":"dbname"}' it will successfully replicate the design docs. Alternatively, you can trigger the replication from the source and supply a user:pass in the target URL.
