I'm trying to get CouchDB to use an Apache front end for authentication.
To do this I've made sure authentication_handlers includes the proxy
handler:
authentication_handlers = {couch_httpd_oauth,
oauth_authentication_handler}, {couch_httpd_auth,
cookie_authentication_handler}, {couch_httpd_auth,
proxy_authentication_handler}, {couch_httpd_auth,
default_authentication_handler}
But I can't do normal admin actions by supplying the expected headers:
# curl --header "X-Auth-CouchDB-UserName: admin" --header
"X-Auth-CouchDB-Roles: admin,user" -X PUT http://localhost:5984/new/
{"error":"unauthorized","reason":"You are not a server admin."}
I'm basing this on
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/api/server/authn.html#proxy-authentication
Is there some step I missed ?
