Description Yu Watanabe 2016-05-09 03:11:37 UTC
Description of problem:

If the user apache does not exist, then gssproxy daemon fails to start with the following error messages:
=================
May 09 11:51:08 systemd[1]: Starting GSSAPI Proxy Daemon...
May 09 11:51:08 gssproxy[4538]: Option 'euid' is missing from [service/HTTP].
May 09 11:51:08 gssproxy[4538]: Error reading configuration 22: Invalid argument
May 09 11:51:08 systemd[1]: gssproxy.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1
May 09 11:51:08 systemd[1]: Failed to start GSSAPI Proxy Daemon.
May 09 11:51:08 systemd[1]: gssproxy.service: Unit entered failed state.
May 09 11:51:08 systemd[1]: gssproxy.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
=================

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gssproxy-0.5.0-3.fc24.x86_64
gssproxy-0.5.0-3.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:

always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install system without httpd
2. Install gssproxy
3. Start gssproxy service

Actual results:

The unit gssproxy.service entered failed state.

Expected results:

The unit gssproxy.service starts successfully.

Additional info:

In /etc/gssproxy/80-httpd.conf, 'euid = apache' is specified. However, the user apache does not exist if httpd.rpm has not been installed.
I think 80-httpd.conf should be disabled by default, e.g., by moving it to /usr/share/doc/gssproxy/examples or packaging it in gssproxy-httpd sub-package.
