Description

The documentation for couch_httpd_auth/secret [currently states](http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/config/auth.html#couch_httpd_auth/secret) that the value is:

> The secret token used for Proxy Authentication method.

This does appear to be the case, but it's worth noting that AFAICT this secret is also used to sign cookie authentication as well — i.e. changing it will "log out" all current cookie-based sessions.
