Hi Martin,
perhaps all your problems can be solved by looking in the lower right
hand corner of your Futon instance. Does it say Admin Party?
If yes:
- click on Fix this
- create an admin account
- remember the admin password!
- Continue below...
If not:
- click Logout
- Now you should see Signup or Login
- click Signup
- voila, you can create a user.
Alternatively, if you want to create the users via a remote application,
you have to create the User directly in the _users table.
To do this, you have to send a http Request that contains the User
datastructure in JSON Format, including the hashed passwort and the
corresponding salt value. Just have a look at the _users table to see
how the structure is built.
Hope to have helped,
regards,
Philipp

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create users on my CouchDB instance in order to share a
couchapp with some friends. The app itself doesn't care about users, I just
want to set up readers and admins so the whole DB remains private.
In other words, my app doesn't include (doesn't need) the signup form. But
it seems that there's no other way to create users, since Futon only
provides admin creation, right ?
I've tried to add an admin in Futon, then remove the matching line in
local.ini : the user can't log in anymore. Is this behavior normal ?
Thanks for any hints,
Martin
