PouchDb to CouchDb replication with authentication header

I am trying to authenticate a user against a CouchDB via auth header with the following code:

 //Business Logic - do your stuff here.
                var db = getdatabaseInstanse(localDb);
                var handler = db
                    .replicate
                    .from(remoteDb, {
                        filter: function (doc) {
                            return angular.isUndefined(doc._deleted) || doc._deleted !== true;
                        }
                    });


                handler
                    .on('complete', function (info) {
                        resolved({ 'Instans': db, 'Info': info, 'PouchDb': localDb, 'CouchDb': remoteDb });
                    })
                    .on('error', function (err) {
                        if (err.status !== 500) {
                            //Ignore Couch database error 500 - since it's unknown!
                            rejected({ 'Instans': db, 'Error': err, 'PouchDb': localDb, 'CouchDb': remoteDb });
                        }
                    });

How do I implement it in the above mentioned example. TIA

You can use the auth.username and auth.password options, as outlined in the PouchDB documentation. This would get you a db with correct authentication:

var remoteDb = new PouchDB('http://path.to/remotedb', {auth: {username: 'user', password: 'pass'}});

By the way, a simpler filter function would suffice in your case: filter: function (doc) { return !doc._deleted; }

As I understood you need create remoteDb instance with auth options. Or place username and password in url like http://username:password@domainname
