Password prompt during install references the admin party, which is over

Open jpaugh opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

I'm brand new to couchdb, and got really confused by the language and behavior of the interactive config screen for the password.

Expected Behavior

When installing couchdb 3.0 or greater, the configuration screen that prompts for a password should

  • Either not mention admin party mode, or explicitly state that it is not available anymore
  • Require the user to enter a non-blank password to proceed interactively with the installation.

Current Behavior

When installing couchdb 3.x, the config screen tells the user that not configuring an admin account is a valid configuration state called "admin party mode," and allows them to configure it improperly --- by entering a blank password.

My Environment

Ubuntu 20, couchdb v3.3.3

deb https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/couchdb-deb/ focal main
