--------------------------------------------------------
Untargeting from 0.29, since we don't have time/assignee to work on it. Also
downgraded from a Blocker, but I doubt it's even Critical. [~bbannier], can you
explain why this is a "Blocker"? Or I guess [~alexr] upgraded it..

> 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
> Priority: Critical
> 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 help string,
> {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 executables.
> 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 help strings more reusable.
