Logging in

When you run npm adduser it will first send a request to {registry_url}/-/v1/login if this path resolves it should return a web login response. However, this feature is not documented here or implemented in Nitro Repo so this returns a bad request.

So if that requests returns a bad request. It will attempt to do a couch db login.

Couch DB Login

Which is at route PUT -/user/org.couchdb.user:{SOME_USER}

SOME_USER being the username.

The body will be application/json with

{
    "name": "Username",
    "password": "Password",
    "email": "Email",
    "login_type": "user",
    "roles": [],
    "date": "CURRENT_ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP"
}

You will now validate the login and return a token if successful.

Response is application/json with

{
    "token": "TOKEN"
}

NPM will save this to the config file and you will be logged in.
