Thank you so much James. After reading the blog following is my understanding, is it correct?
1)- If we want to use custom authentication, user can only be created using the admin REST api which is not public and can only be called from server
2)- We will have to create a proxy server on port e.g. 8000 which redirects all requests to sync gate way on normal port:4984 except for the /signup request.
3)- /signup request makes a post request to syncgateway admin REST api on port:4985. The POST Api call will be /dbname/_user
4)-We will be using the 8000 port proxy url for all pouchDb references for web, Android and iOS
5)- Our architecture will be that web browser pouchdb client, Android client and iOS client all connect to the proxy server (node.js). The node.js/ proxy server forwards all requests to the sync gate way and the sync gate way talks to the couchbase except for signup.
