I have a two questions about authentication involving CouchDB. The questions are about a CouchApp with private data + a login app.

  1. First of all I want to be sure I got this right. If you make a database completely private ( no reading, no writing, no updating, …) you need an extra public database + app to do the actually logging in right?

  2. Does CouchDB have something that if you get a 401 it redirects to something else?

    After reading the discussion at issue 1175 I can answer my own questions.

    1. Yes
    2. No. In 1175 there is talk about either using a redirect to a login page or use the 401 page to login. But if I understood correctly it’s not easy to determent if the source that does the request wants html or json.
