Hey everybody, I'm trying to understand (and use) OAuth authentication with couchdb. The documentation on this is missing... :( Using google and the couchdb sources, I found out, that the couchdb oauth authentication urls are:
_oauth/request_token _oauth/authorize _oauth/access_token I have configured an oauth consumer and token like this: [oauth_consumer_secrets] localhost = sekr1t [oauth_token_secrets] user1 = step [oauth_token_users] user1 = step So now, I want to obtain a request token by calling the _oauth/request_token url: curl --header 'Authorization:OAuth realm="",oauth_consumer_key="localhost",oauth_token="user1",oauth_version="1.0",oauth_timestamp="1328962239",oauth_nonce="J0S4c1",oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",oauth_signature="2Y9kL3K9Y9aRDD3MgLlNe3g4Q94%3D"' http://localhost:5984/_oauth/request_token the response is: oauth_token=requestkey&oauth_token_secret=requestsecret Obviously, the request token is not being generated. Does this mean, the oauth authentication is not yet (fully) implemented? Or am I missing something important? Thanks, Stephan
