I would like to know how to password protect couchdb web interface in a production server?
What’s the best method?
Thanks
So far I tried with .htaccess, although it is still not protecting:
AuthUserFile /home/dir/htpassword/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "CouchDB Admin Interface"
Require valid-user
Normally, CouchDB is the server, and it doesn’t support .htaccess as far as I’m concerned. You can, of course, proxy it through Apache, but the best solution would probably be to use the built-in authentication methods of Couchdb.
