I don't think we can do ... because, network traffic at a much lower level than the application. The CouchDB server (frontend) sees GET / PUT / POST coming from a certain ip. At this point, he asks the database specified in the url for the request and the server itself will verify the security. But there is no TCP / IP control at this level. Rather, you could make two servers, the first one responding only to localhost in AdminParty and the second with the user and password and in bind on a private / public ip. The second will receive the db in reply from the first. It could be an idea...

So when application access through localhost that applications doesn't require username password to Couchdb and applications access from external interfaces require username password. -- Regards, Dilushan Delgoda
