   _For future visitors_
   
   For some reason, the documentation is not really clear on this auth thingy.
   
   There are basically two ways to authenticate per my little experience using _nano_:
   1. Use `nano.auth` method:
   ```
   const nano = require('nano');
   const COUCHDB_URL = process.env.COUCHDB_URL || 'http://localhost:5984';
   var couchServer = nano({ url: COUCHDB_URL });
   
   couchServer.auth(
       'admin',
       'admin',
       function (err, response, headers) {
           console.log(err, response, headers)
   
           // set cookie to the returned headers cookie
           couchServer = nano({ url: COUCHDB_URL, cookie: headers['set-cookie'] })
   
           // do authenticated work here
           couchServer.db.create('test1', function (err) {
               if (err) {
                   console.error(err);
               }
           });
       })
   
   ```
   2. Use `requestDefaults` property when initializing _nano_ object to set authentication credentials:
   ```
   const nano = require('nano');
   const COUCHDB_URL = process.env.COUCHDB_URL || 'http://localhost:5984';
   var couchServer = nano({ url: COUCHDB_URL, requestDefaults: { auth: { username: 'admin', password: 'admin' } } });
   
   // do authenticated work here
   couchServer.db.list().then(console.log)
   ```
