Describe the issue.
Background:
I am attempting to subscribe other JIDS to a pub sub topic but when i do so, i am returned bad request errors relating to invalid jids. if the subscribee JID is the same as the JID of the client, it succeeds.
Problem:
below does not work as the subscriber jid is different to the authenticated jid

with response:
<iq from="pubsub.managed.dev-xmpp.example.com" to="test@managed.dev-xmpp.example.com/1696-917612-648460-6a7e16a2967d6d97" type="error" id="011579b6-6ab0-4eca-afe7-35228f561b62-4"><pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"><subscribe node="adams_topic" jid="61234567890@managed.dev-xmpp.example.com" /></pubsub><error code="400" type="modify"><bad-request xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas" /><invalid-jid xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#errors" /></error></iq>
the only interesting part in the logs is below where it indicates the jid is incorrect

I am using the sleekxmpp pubsub_client.py code to drive this, given i can change the subscribee component to match the basejid and it works along with the payload appearing to be compliant, im confident this can be excluded as a cause.
Hi @adamramage. The described behaviour is exactly as defined in XEP-0060, Section 6.1.3.1. Subscribing another user would be against the specification, so it is not allowed. The returned error is exactly the same as in the example. I am closing this issue, because everything works as specified in the standard.
thanks @chrzaszcz: Thought i searched enough for the error but didnt see it in there..
per the note, there is an option which could allow an administrator to make the change as a 'trusted proxy" does mim allow this?
Note: An implementation MAY enable the service administrator to configure a list of entities that are excluded from this check; those entities may be considered "trusted proxies" that are allowed to subscribe on behalf of other entities. In the same way, implementations MAY enable listing of entities that are not allowed to perform specific operations (such as subscribing or creating nodes).
Hijacking this issue for an addition related question, does Erlang have any advice on implementation limits regarding maximum number of topics, maximum number of subscribees per topic? I have tried to find anything about this but there doesn't seem to be much. I'm assuming for the most part, it will be a resource limitation for the host infrastructure. we have 9 c5.4xlarge instances.
