How to delete a user

[mi...@free.fr]

Hello Couchers,

I'm playing with CouchDB Security features, but can't get a user removal script to work.
I try to fetch the user object, from the _users database, and then issue a DELETE REST query (of course, including the revision).

It does not work, and returns an error "doc.type must be user". I went through the wiki but did not find how to delete a user.

Anyone can help me ?

Regards,

Mickael

Hello Mickael
This exception come from _user database  'validate_doc_update' (located at
"_users/_design/_auth"), this validations check always call before
committing any change .

you get exception at this part of validations check :*
if ((oldDoc || newDoc).type != 'user') {
             throw({forbidden : 'doc.type must be user'});
}*
maybe you just need to set "type : user  " in your user document before try
to remove.

Regards,
Payam.
