[gentoo-user] Password based printing
Hi list, I need to build a printserver inside my gentoo box. This printserver will serve about 50 printers for about 500 users. I need to restrict access to the colored printers with authenticated users with their usename and password (posibly from the ldap server which is already running on a separate machine). Any idea guys? Im looking at the cups-pam-ldap solution, that is cups will use pam authentication and pam will use ldap modules. My problem is how to convince cups to use pam authentication for some printers. In the cups documentation, there is no information regarding implementation of pam. When I build cups from source ./configure --help shows that pam is enabled by default. Pam-ldap is already working. TIA omar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
