Hi. Thank you very much for your reply.
I'm trying to replicate a database by putting a document to _replicator. And when i set source and target "http://admin:password@localhost:5984/db"; like this replication happening without any issue. But when i try without putting username and password "http://localhost:5984/db"; replication not happening. Is there workaround to solve this? I don't want to put password in replication doc. And source, target and _replicator in same couchdb instance. This is because even a db user with view access can then log in and see the admin password which would compromise security.
