Alexander Rukletsov updated MESOS-5379: --------------------------------------- Labels: mesosphere tech-debt (was: ) > Authentication documentation for libprocess endpoints can be misleading > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-5379 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5379 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation, libprocess > Affects Versions: 0.29.0 > Reporter: Benjamin Bannier > Labels: mesosphere, tech-debt > > Libprocess exposes a number of endpoints (at least: {{/logging}}, > {{/metrics}}, and {{/profiler}}). If libprocess was initialized with some > realm these endpoints require authentication, and don't if not. > To generate endpoint help we currently use the also function > {{AUTHENTICATION}} which injects the following into the helpstring, > {code} > This endpoints requires authentication iff HTTP authentication is enabled. > {code} > with {{iff}} documenting a coupling stronger between required authentication > and enabled authentication which might not be true for above libprocess > endpoints -- it is e.g., true when these endpoints are exposed through mesos > masters/agents, but possibly not if exposed through other actors. > It seems for libprocess endpoint a less strong formulation like e.g., > {code} > This endpoints supports authentication. If HTTP authentication is enabled, > this endpoint may require authentication.` > {code} > might make the generated helpstrings more reusable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
