How to authenticate `couchdb` when connecting to it from `pouchdb` in nodejs?












0














CouchDB is running in the server and I am using pouchdb in a nodejs. I have trouble to connecting to CouchDB and I always got 401 Unauthorized error. Below is the code I am using:



const db = new PouchDB(url, {
ajax: {
withCredentials: false,
headers: {
authorization: 'signed 4252342xxxx ...',
}
}
});


The error I got is: { message: 'Unauthorized', status: 401, name: 'unknown' }



Is it the correct way to do authentication?

  • Are you able to connect to CouchDB using curl? Could you show an example of the command syntax you use?

As M-I pointed out, your method of getting the database does not match the PouchDB API. This is the example from the manual that shows how to add headers to the request:



var db = new PouchDB('http://example.com/dbname', {
fetch: function (url, opts) {
opts.headers.set('X-Some-Special-Header', 'foo');
return PouchDB.fetch(url, opts);
}
});


You do not seem to be using username/password, but if you are the "auth" option can be added to the options parameter.
