Hi all,

Sorry the previous message left the draft state too quickly.
Thanks a lot for the hard work already put into CouchDB!

As explained in a message on the user mailing list, I wanted to use
couchdb-peruser on CouchDB 2.0.0 so I submitted a patch on github
(https://github.com/apache/couchdb-peruser/pull/3).

I am currently looking at deploying a CouchDB instance in the wild so
I have been looking into securing the endpoints.

* Is there a reason why _all_dbs is available to everyone?

* I looked into the source code of the different building blocks,
there seem to be a lot of duplication between chttp and couch_httpd.
(My understanding is that the former is for the Cluster endpoint and
the latter being for the node-only endpoint but I am surprised to see
that much duplication).

* Current peruser set the user as the admin of his database, would
anyone like to have the ability to switch off that setting (user is
only a member of his database) or add some granularity?

Sorry, searching through the mailing list archives is a bit tricky, I
only went a few months back to see if those questions were answered
previously.


Thanks a lot,
Thomas
