Does Cloudant support couch_httpd_oauth with use_users_db = true?

Question

Posted here by request, after asked on irc #cloudant

Does Cloudant support couch_httpd_oauth with use_users_db = true? (This, of course, implies that I would have disabled Cloudant's security in favor of CouchDB native features.)

And if so, how can it be enabled on my database?

Answer 1

Cloudant doesn't yet support OAuth. Behind CORS support it's probably our most requested feature.

Answer 2

Try out Smileupps. It offers official CouchDB releases and features.. this means you can have couch_httpd_oauth support with use_users_db enabled.
