   There is a note in the local.ini file that reads:
   
   ```
   ; If you set this to true, you should also uncomment the WWW-Authenticate line
   ; above. If you don't configure a WWW-Authenticate header, CouchDB will send
   ; Basic realm="server" in order to prevent you getting logged out.
   ```
   
   You have to do both, otherwise you don't get the browser popup window for realm authentication. A correct configuration for CouchDB 2.1.1 is:
   
   ```
   [httpd]
   WWW-Authenticate = Basic realm="administrator"
   [chttpd]
   require_valid_user = true
   ```
   
   I have tested this locally and this resolves the problem.
   
   It helps to read the fine documentation we've written ;)
