[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-2343) /_config/admins/username fails on master

Joan Touzet created COUCHDB-2343:
------------------------------------

             Summary: /_config/admins/username fails on master
                 Key: COUCHDB-2343
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2343
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: HTTP Interface
            Reporter: Joan Touzet


In a multi-node setup, calling _config/admins/username to create an admin user fails to correctly configure a cluster with a new administrator. This fails for two reasons:

1) The call is only processed on a single node, and the admin entry is not replicated
2) Even if the call is repeated on all nodes manually, the hashes will be different on each node, which will cause cookie failure when attempting to authenticate via other machines.
