I newly installed CouchDB on my computer and I have been experiencing troubles logging in. As a macOS user, I enter the ini file located at
Library/Preferences/couchdb_local.ini
where I modified the admin section so it looks like
[admins]
username = randomusername
password = randompassword
After restarting my computer and entering the file again, I can see that both the username and password became hashed, looking something like
[admins]
username = -pbkdf2-dadsiada3f2w34f,jjfioji3jf3,10
password = -pbkdf2-f4i32f0j230jf03,3fijf203jf0,10
However, I'm still having troubles logging into the Fauxton portal at localhost:5984/_utils both using the hashed and unhashed credentials.
Is there anything I have done wrong? Thanks.
No, the format for [admins] is: <username placeholder> = <password placeholder>, so like:
[admins]
admin = ClarkeAC
hal = killdave
dave = halsucks
