Ok, this works after I set require_valid_user = false in /etc/couchdb/local.ini. But what if I want this option to be turned on? When it's on, I can't even see "Login" link. Seems like it's also restricted. I am getting 3 error messages:
"An error occurred retrieving/updating the server configuration: Authentication required." "Server information could not be retrieved: Authentication required." "An error occurred getting session info: Authentication required." And even with require_valid_user = false, how can I login outside of futon? E.g. if I want to operate on database via HTTP by curl? I also want to ask where user's password is kept? I created more admins by clicking "Setup more admins" next to login link in futon. Let's call created user "sam". Then I went to http://localhost:5984/_users/org.couchdb.user:sam and there is no "password_sha1" field, nor "salt" field.
