   Isn't this working as expected? The only thing that's confusing is that you have to send the SHA-1 sum of the username using the secret instead of the secret directly:
   
   In NodeJS this should give you the token:
   
   >  crypto.createHmac('sha1', 'mysecret').update('username').digest('hex')
   
   
   Then with curl you should get:
   
   ```
   curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/_session -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Auth-CouchDB-UserName: username" -H "X-Auth-CouchDB-Roles: myadmin" -H "X-Auth-CouchDB-Token: "7bdfca0f0926fe4255440da35417cd2dc79507e0"
   {"ok":true,"userCtx":{"name":"username","roles":["myadmin"]},"info":{"authentication_db":"_users","authentication_handlers":["cookie","proxy","default"],"authenticated":"proxy"}}
   ```
