Doc Text:
Earlier, geo-replication could be paused or resumed with the wrong user. As a result, snapshot creation operation failed. With this fix, while performing pause/resume on geo-replication with other users will show an error message like: Geo-replication session between <USERNAME> and <SLAVE_HOSTNAME> does not exist.

Description Sunny Kumar 2018-03-16 11:41:35 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1547446 +++

Description of problem:
Geo-replication setup with other user then root on slave node,
as described in documentation:
http://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Geo%20Replication/
If you run pause or resume on geo-replication with wrong user,
other user then you setup, you will get pause/resume success even
if it does not work.
To make it work again you need to restart glusterd on all nodes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glusterfs 3.12.5 (all packages)

How reproducible:
If geo-replication is setup with user geoaccount, run:
gluster volume geo-replication [volume_name] anotheruser@[main_slave_node]::[volume_name] pause
Returns:
Pausing geo-replication session between [volume_name] & anotheruser@main_slave_node]::[volume_name] has been successful
If you create a snapshot you will get the error that you need to stop geo-replication first.
So geo-replication does not pause

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gluster volume geo-replication [volume_name] anotheruser@[main_slave_node]::[volume_name] pause
2. gluster snapshot create [snap_name] [volume_name]

Actual results:
Geo-replication returns success with exit code 0 even if wrong user or no user (root) is specified at pause/resume when geo-replication user is setup.


Expected results:
Return code != 0 and an error message saying that wrong user is specified

Additional info:
Have not tested with root user for geo-replication and specifying another user at pause/resume
