In my local env, if require_valid_user was set to true (require_valid_user=true), will have the same symptom as cloudant shows. So change require_valid_user to false should resolve this problem. BUT: I can modify this via http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/config.html in local env, but the corresponding link in cloudant can not be accessed : http://incrp.cloudant.com/_utils/config.html

Some other useful links: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10364864/couchdb-authorization-logic http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4055450/couchdb-authorization-on-a-per-database-basis

When access http://incrp.cloudant.com/_config, got below: {"error":"forbidden","reason":"server_admin access is required for this request"}

So this issue seems indeed need help from cloudant side and modify the require_valid_user from true to false for our account.

Hi, david, could you please contact cloudant and ask their help for change the parm require_valid_user from true to false? I think this modification can help to resolve this issue. Thanks.
