Dear Chris, I've set require_valid_user=true and authentication_redirect is set to default by couchdb, but no redirection happens. A basic authentication pop up shows as before! I've tested once with WWW-Authenticatedisabled and once set to default! Would you please clarify the correct configuration for us to enable the login page!?
