Is there some documentation on best practice for managing grouper web service accounts?

It looks simple to add them to Tomcat's tomcat-users.xml, but they have to be subjects also. Should I create another subject source?

I used mod_auth_ldap in Apache to protect the web services URL. That way I can create users in my regular subject source (LDAP) for service accounts that call web services.

Then I add them to the etc:webserviceclientusers group to grant them access.
