CouchDB, Facebook & Other log-ins

[Zdravko Gligic <zg...@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks,

How do I go about setting up CouchDB users so that they are optionally
tied together to Facebook and maybe other log-ins such as GMail ?

Also, if my Adobe Flex/AiR application lives within a CouchDB as
document attachments, how do I send out emails for password reminders?

Thanks again,
Zdravko

To make it simple:
- if your authorizations depend only on the requests (URLs, credentials, etc.), then you will be able to  handle them outside CouchDB in a reverse proxy,
- if your authorizations depend on the data, you will have to use the existing authentication handlers or to write your own... Yes, in Erlang ;)


Regards,

Back in the COBOL days, the old school seemed to be lot less relaxed
about securing their key-punched data cards than the new (CouchDB)
school is about its online databases. Is there perhaps a special (:
secured :) lounge where logins, permissions and security are discussed
;?)
