wohali opened a new issue #1746: ini-file admin users always cause auth cache miss
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1746
 
 
   When accessing CouchDB with an admin user defined ONLY in the ini file, the auth_cache_misses counter is incremented.
   
   ## Expected Behavior
   The counter should not increment.
   
   ## Current Behavior
   The counter does increment.
   
   ## Possible Solution
   auth_cache should have a filter of ini admins before logging the stat.
   
   A workaround is to create users in _users with identical credentials.
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
   1. dev/run -n 1 -a user:pass
   2. curl http://user:pass@localhost:15984/_node/_local/_stats | jq .couchdb.auth_cache_misses
   3. Repeat and see the counter go up.
   
   ## Context
   Dashboards tracking auth cache misses will see their own activity reflected in the graph. AUGH!
