I setup Couchbase using the wizard. The documents as such are available to anyone with URl to couchbase server. How do I add a layer of authentication.

Could you please point me to right documentation.

Thanks.

Hi sam,

just for clarification, are you using Couchbase Server or Couchbase Single Server?

Cheers
Jan

Hi,
I am using the Couchbase Server 2.0.
I believe authentication for Couchbase Single Server shoudl be similar to COuchDb, which I am comfortable with.

Sam, if your client library supports it (all of "ours" do, some of the general memcached libraries do not) you can use SASL authentication to prevent unauthorized access to a Couchbase Server bucket.

When configuring the bucket, you can specify a password and then will need to use that password (along with the bucket name as the username) to access the data contained within.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Perry
