Hi everyone,
I'm very interested to get any information on this topic too, and in
security replication in general.
I plan to deploy several couchdb instance, and I plan to implement
different users and roles to use on this cloud.
I think, I don't understand very well the user/role and replication
mechanism. I tried different configuration.
As far as I understand, the _users databases can be replicated, but not
the user and role assigned on another database.
Example :
- I created a tesdb on couchdb1
- I applied a security setting (with Futon ) to define some admins and
readers names/roles ,
- I defined a replica of testb on couchdb2
- I launched a replication job between couchdb1/testdb and couchdb2/testdb.
But it seems there is no security replicated from couchdb1/testdb to
couchdb2/testdb.
Is it normal ? Does it could be a great security feature to assist
replication of the security setting for a replication database in a cloud ?
Maybe I'm completly wrong on this subject ?
Other question about multiple couchdb instance and replication :
When (for perf, or LB, or HA purpose) you need more than 2 couchdb
replica of the same database, what is supposed to be the more efficent
architecture ?
- Something in ring style : A>B>C>A
- Same with a dual reverse replication scheme ? A>B>C>A, A>C>B>A
- Or a grap cluster style A>B, A>C, B>A, C>A
- Or a n^2 dual replica with every possible peer db ? A>B, A>C, B>A,
B>C, C>A, C>B
I'd appreciate any comment on this !
Thanks,
Thierry.

Are there any special considerations when replicating the _users
database as opposed to normal databases? Is this a good way to share
users between servers that should share users and trust one another?
