Enable better authentication mechanism for CouchDB

Open ajayatdlt opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Currently, Peer uses the username and password authentication for the CouchDB authentication. We should be looking at improving the authentication mechanism. CouchDB supports the following types of authentication.

  • Basic
  • Cookie
  • Proxy
  • JWT https://docs.couchdb.org/en/3.2.0/api/server/authn.html We should be looking for enhancing the authentication by having other mechanism apart from Basic.
