使用非服务器管理员用户身份验证将PouchDb复制到CouchDb

Question

I'm trying to replicate a local PouchDb database to a remote CouchDb database. Before ending the "Admin party" everything worked perfect. But when I configured the admin user I needed admin auth. So after reading A LOT I figured out how to authenticate.

remoteCouch = new PouchDB('http://127.0.0.1:5984/database_name', {ajax: {headers: {'Cookie': cookie}}})
PouchDB.replicate(_db, remoteCouch)

If I use the server admin credentials when getting the cookie then I can replicate. But what I really want is to enable a regular admin user, that has permissions on a particular DB, to replicate on that DB.

If I log in with user "X" and on the target database I have a _security document with user "X" on the admins list, it gives me an auth error saying I'm not a server admin.

I've read about the Replicator database en the userCtx. But when I replicate using PouchDb nothing happens on the Replicator database.

Is there any way I can allow replication for non-server-admin user "X"? User "X" needs your help!

Answer 1

I would say you have done everything right. The only thing that seems wrong is that you send the authentication cookie to the local database instead of to the remote one.
