Karl Richter created TS-3288:
--------------------------------
Summary: Document user restrictions of proxy.config.admin.user_id
Key: TS-3288
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3288
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Karl Richter
The documentation of `proxy.config.admin.user_id`, e.g. at
http://trafficserver.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/configuration/records.config.en.html#proxy-config-admin-user-id
doesn't contain any statement on restrictions for valid effective users, except
that root is forbidden if not bypassed. They must exist because specifying a
user the same entry in `/etc/passwd` like `nobody` except a uid and gid
differing by 1 causes requests to be rejected after `bin/trafficserver
restart`.
The consequence of `--with-group` and `--with-user` of `configure` should be
mentioned as well, as well if there's none.
