The referred change might (hopefully) come with RHEL 6.3, please see bug 733753
(I set it being dependent on this one + added Documentation keyword).

Jan:

---------
It should probably also be noted that "who.auth_tkt_timeout" configuration
item is not effective on RHEL 6.1 since there is not enough up-to-date
python-repoze-who package ("requires repoze.who >= 1.0.14" note applies).
This may change in subsequent RHEL releases.

I will add a small section on this file to the Conga chapter of the Cluster Administration Guide for RHEL 6.2, summarizing the information contained in this BZ. But as to this feature: The general documentation is not the place to note what does not work -- that is, in a 6.2 document I can't really point to a feature and say "this does not work in 6.2". But I looked at the /etc/sysconfig/luci file and, as you note, the repoze.who note applies so that should probably be enough I think.

When I write up the new section (in a matter of days -- it's the very end of rhel6.2 doc time) I will send it to you for review.

Thanks.

I submitted Comment 3 before I saw Comment 2.

But for now I'm still not really sure that I can point to this in the rhel 6.2 documentation -- it seems more something for the release notes.

TBH, I just wanted this piece of work to reach its "happy end" because
it got stuck in the middle (my bad, at least partly).

I completety agree it does not contribute to a good image stating what
does not currently work, yet exposed.  Release notes are okay, too;
in fact I do not care much about the form, I do care about general
awareness of /etc/sysconfig/luci feature by the target audience.

Jan: 

I'll try to write something up today (Monday August 29) and get it to you for review -- it should be straightforward (I hope). Documenting the existence of /etc/sysconfig/luci easily belongs with the general luci/Conga documentation. The issue for the NEEDINFO is where (or even whether) lack of current support for who.auth_tkt_timeout in RHEL 6.2 should be mentioned.

I've made the indicated updates to my working draft.

I've made the changes from Jan's review (in comments 10, 11, and 15) and checked them in, but this BZ is still in NEEDINFO since Jan set it for Lon to ask his opinion on whether we need to call out lack of current support for who.auth_tkt_timeout in RHEL 6.2 should be mentioned, as noted in Comment 7.

IMO, that's not really something that should go in the document but, rather, should go in the Release Notes -- it's a mention of lack of support. So as a matter of status the documentation in Cluster Administration on this feature is complete for 6.2 (and reviewed by Jan) and I'll move this into ON_QA when we resolve the issue of where/if to explicitly document lack of support of who.auth_tkt_timeout.

Removing the NEEDINFO because that's holding this BZ up from a pubs point of view, but I have final review from Jan for the document, and Jan has gotten Lon's input on IRC.

I'm not sure what you mean by your question about whether your point 4 in comment 26 was improper. You wrote "when enabling IP port that runs luci" and that needs an article:  "when enabling an IP port that runs luci". But then we changed the phrase a couple of times and it now says "when you enable an IP port for luci".

Latest build for 6.2 GA:

Moving to CLOSED.
