[Dorset] CUPS authentication question

2013-12-03 Thread Tim Allen

Hi All

Playing around with CUPS 1.5.3 on Debian Squeeze. 1.5 has a nice feature 
to hide job details on the web interface via JobPrivateAccess and 
JobPrivateValues. With the following in cupsd.conf:


# Restrict access to the server...
Location /
  AuthType Default
  Require valid-user
  Order allow,deny
  Allow @LOCAL
/Location

individual users must log in to the web interface and only see their own 
job details, but members of SystemGroup can see all job details - nice! 
However, with the


AuthType Default
Require valid-user

lines, I can't print from remote machines without getting into further 
authentication complications. I'm guessing I need to use a different 
Location  directive that only applies to the jobs pages of the web 
interface - can anyone advise? Would Location /jobs be the way to go 
or is that going to introduce further problems elsewhere?


Thanks

Tim

I think you really want a policy modification. That specifies the
authentication requirements based on the operation, not the
location/resource.

Look at the Policy authenticated.../Policy section. I think those
defaults might be what you want. You can set the policy on a per-queue
basis.

Hmmm.  Fresh out of tinsel.

See you tonight.  I'll be there with Paul and Chris.

Having been away in Edinburgh at a surprise party for my brother in law
over the weekend (!)
I think both my liver and my home/pub balance are indicating that I may
have to give this one a miss.
Have a good one, and best wishes to all for the coming seasonal madness.

 Is that you and your elves?

Well, considering my height, I probably should be one of the elves :-)

 As the first web page above says, we are often in the pub's snug, a
 small room off the right end of the bar.  But it isn't reserved for us
 so we're sometimes to be hunted down elsewhere.

 Andrew's already tweeted if you want to re-tweet.
