[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-5212) Allow any principal in ReservationInfo when HTTP authentication is off

["Bernd Mathiske (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5212?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15281385#comment-15281385 ] 

Bernd Mathiske commented on MESOS-5212:
---------------------------------------

This patch is implementation-only (with tests), which is proper. I am assuming the documentation changes that go along with the new behavior will then be posted against MESOS-5215? IMHO it would also be OK to dedicate limited doc updates to the ticket here.

> Mesos currently provides no way for operators to pass their principal to HTTP endpoints when HTTP authentication is off. Since we enforce that {{ReservationInfo.principal}} be equal to the operator principal in requests to {{/reserve}}, this means that when HTTP authentication is disabled, the {{ReservationInfo.principal}} field cannot be set.
> To address this in the short-term, we should allow {{ReservationInfo.principal}} to hold any value when HTTP authentication is disabled.
