I think you can start by deploying your DB files in directories protected by password (https) and use redirection in your server. Never tried it.

Hi, I've been trying to read around this on the web but I just can't find an 
answer which makes sense to me.

I would like to build a couch app and I would like to use an existing system to 
do the authentication. I can build an interface on this other system to do 
whatever is required to make this work (eg some REST thing issue cookies or 
validate username/password) but I can't see how I would make couch use this 
interface.

If I can avoid it I'd rather not have users really exist in the _users database 
but if this is unavoidable maybe I could create them on the fly?

I know I've been vague but can anyone offer a starting point?
