I want to implement NTLM-based access to CUPS. CUPS doesn't support that by itself so I've decided to make it listen strictly on 127.0.0.1 and "export" it via a local Apache's vhost using mod_proxy.
Here's my vhost setup: ---8<--[cut start]------------------------------------------------ <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName cups.jukebox.domain007.com ServerAlias printer.jukebox.domain007.com ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ProxyRequests off ProxyPass / http://localhost:631/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:631/ <Location /> PerlAuthenHandler +Apache2::AuthenNTLM AuthType ntlm,basic AuthName "Admins Only" PerlAddVar ntdomain "DOMAIN007 rras bercut" PerlSetVar defaultdomain DOMAIN007 PerlSetVar splitdomainprefix 0 PerlSetVar ntlmdebug 1 PerlSetVar ntlmsemtimout 10 Require valid-user Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 </Location> ---8<--[cut end]-------------------------------------------------- This works OK in two cases: 1) All AuthenNTLM stuff is commented out (and then there's no authentication of course, but I can manage CUPS); 2) mod_proxy's stuff is commented out (and then there IS authentication, but Apache just shows some directory index since no proxying is performed). Various tweakery of mod_proxy like disabling cacheing, turning ProxyVia off and the like yielded no results. Please help!
