Creates CouchDB Proxy Authentication Headers

npm install couch-proxy-auth

var xauth = require('couch-proxy-auth')

var headers = xauth('username', 'role', 'secret')

/*
  {
    'X-Auth-CouchDB-UserName': 'username'
    'X-Auth-CouchDB-Token': '0xde7c9b8bbaab8a73f090cd4d9',
    'X-Auth-CouchDB-Roles': 'role'
  }
*/

The token is generated by HMAC-SHA1(secret, username) and represented as Hex.

• username Name of the user in CouchDB
