S-Aggarwal opened a new issue #777: Adding admins through local.ini doesn't encrypt passwords after restart
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/777
 
 
   ## Expected Behavior
   If you add a new admin using the `[admins]` section of the `locals.ini` file, the password should get salted and encrypted (using pkbdf2) after restarting CouchDB. 
   
   ## Current Behavior
   The password remains in plaintext while a copy is created in the 10-admins.ini file in the local.d directory where the encrypted password is stored.
   
   Files after restarting CouchDB:
   locals.ini
   ```ini
   [admins]
   ;admin = mysecretpassword
   testadmin = testpass
   ```
   
   locals.d/10-admins.ini
   ```ini
   [admins]
   testadmin = -pbkdf2-1c9e78dae1afdf034b5777a62a8a7e8a0c8e93fd,56a7565edee375ebb7cb872185ea364c,10
   ```
   
   ## Possible Solution
   Edit `local.ini` with encrypted password as well after parsing it on start-up.
   
   ## Your Environment
   <!--- Include as many relevant details about the environment you experienced the bug in -->
