Do the Portal Super User and Portal Super Reader accounts configured for accessing the Object Cache need to be Managed Accounts?

Question

The TechNet article Configure object cache user accounts doesn't say anything about it. Does anyone know?

Answer 1

you need to create normal user accounts for the object cache accounts. They don't need to be service accounts, according to Mirjam van Olst

Answer 2

It's not required that they are managed accounts, however, if your service account passwords expire you might as well register it for password changes.
