[Django]-Django & CouchDB – Common authentication backend

by

Unfortunately, there is currently no ready-made solution for you.

You possible routes are:

  • Make Django use CouchDB’s authentication system.
  • Make CouchDB use Django’s authentication system.
  • Make a third party back end that is the auth system and hook it into both Django and CouchDB.

They all require work. #3 could be LDAP, but currently there is no LDAP adapter for CouchDB, although it wouldn’t be very hard to write. #1 would be useful to others as well I’d think.
