I think there are workarounds for all of this; however, ultimately the only solution IMO is to make _users inaccessible. I have not confirmed, but I believe there might also be problems with couches sharing subsets of each others' users databases. If I trust you and you trust me, then I should be able to replicate down all of your users docs from e.g. the @example.com domain. If the hash is based on a per-server salt, then document IDs will not be identical, and so that won't work.
Closing off the _users db works really well with this plugin. CouchDB will open the _users database (as an admin) for two reasons:
When you try to authenticate, it will check against your doc
When you create a BrowserID account
The major reason to leave _users open is for account creation, and BrowserID obviates that.
Even account creation can occur with a private _users database, if I can get my inbox db patch merged into Apache CouchDB: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1287 then people can still drop new accounts in the DB but not read them back, and thus not be able to enumerate users and email addresses on the system.
If you hash the name how can you know which one you need to assign other roles too?
{
"type": "user",
"name": "22sda98s7das9t9t6a9sd6atsd9t97asdt7",
"roles": ["browserid","admin"],
"salt": "1d57abebf2c94fb0a851dad9ae372ea2",
"browserid": true
}
is it not better to just make _users not accessible
