Configuring Authentication

Some Couchbase databases require authentication. In particular, if you are connecting to Couchbase Server version 5.0 or later, you must provide credentials for authentication.

You can provide your authentication credentials in a credentials file in JSON format, or by directly in the connection URL:

• Configuring Authentication Using a Credentials File
• Configuring Authentication in the Connection URL
