Dear Wiki user,

The "Security_Features_Overview" page has been changed by MattAdams.

--------------------------------------------------
The "_id" attribute value must be prefixed with the string "org.couchdb.user:" and the rest
must match the value of the attribute "name". The roles attribute must be an array of roles
(and each role is a string). The "password_sha" attribute is an hexadecimal representation
of the SHA-1 hash computed over a string that matches the user password concatenated with
a salt (ideally a random string). The salt attribute is the hexadecimal representation of
the salt used to generate the user's password hash.
+ '''Note: you will need to use the [[https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/trunk/share/www/script/sha1.js][sha1.js
implementation of SHA-1]] to generate `password_sha`. The SHA-1 hex digest output by Open``SSL
is not compatible with Erlang's crypto:sha/1''' -- MattAdams

Some rules regarding user documents:
* when created by a non server admin user, the "roles" attribute must be an empty array
