Karl Richter commented on TS-3288:
----------------------------------
That would be another issue and more of a support request which should not be
extended in an issue tracker. My request aims more to not only solve my
problem, but prevent everyone from running into it. It any user is acceptable,
please consider updating the docs, so that I can investigate further.
> 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
> Fix For: Docs
>
>
> 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.
