I'm using the SystemRootToken. I can create a container request with a regular token.

SystemRootToken is intended to be used by the system -- even an admin user should never be using it with user-level APIs. Since the system never creates its own container requests, this request doesn't need to succeed.

A better error message would be good, though.

Yes, but it isn't being denied on purpose, it's a bug, I suspect it is a side effect of the SystemRootToken not being a "real" token in the database. This could just as easily fail on something that's a "legitimate" use of SystemRootToken.

Turns out this error message was returned by the "create container request" endpoint for any invalid token.

With this fix:
  • return an "invalid API token" message instead of "no rows in result set"
  • return 500 (not 403) if there is a problem validating the token (database not connected, etc.)
