Description
Hey there,
I set require_valid_user = true in my CouchDB's local.ini,
to only allow actual users, but no anonymous users.
Also skipSetup: true is set when initalizing the DB.
However, each time I db.login('test', 'test'), I get the browser modal requiring to enter credentials,
although test:test exists, and normally works without require_valid_user = true
tested in Firefox 42 and Chrome 47.
the relevant code:
var db, local
function switchDB(dbname) {
db = new PouchDB('http://127.0.0.1:5984/' + dbname, {skipSetup: true})
local = new PouchDB(dbname)
local.sync(db, {live: true, retry: true}).on('error', console.log.bind(console))
return db.login('test', 'test')
}
I already tried http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32670580/prevent-authentication-popup-401-with-couchdb-pouchdb, which seemed to solve the issue, but I want to use fauxton on the backend which doesn't work after that.
If it doesn't work any other way, I guess I could set roles for each db as a workaround…
