Title:
cups webpage waits for ever on modify printer make, if authtype is
enabled
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I use cups on a print server so I configure cups remote through the
web front-end. If I set security as low as possible (BrowseAllow All,
Allow From All for all other sections and AuthType and AuthClass
disabled) I have no problem. I can do (printer is already installed):
manage printers --> modify printer --> continue --> continue -->
continue --> On the Make/Manufacturer page I want to change the driver
so I select the make, continue --> and I get on the page Model/Driver
and so on. But when I enhance security with AuthType and AuthClass in
cupsd.conf on the sections /admin and /admin/conf, the cups website
works as follows: manage printers --> modify printer --> Error page
with notification that the page will switch to https -->
authentication: username, password, OK --> continue --> continue -->
continue --> On the Make/Manufacturer page I want to change the driver
so I select the make, continue --> I get an wait for .... and after
several minutes I get a white firefox page. This is a bug.
This is my problem investigation: I saw when cups changed to https
that my FQDN was missing the root domain (my FQDN is
<server>.local.lan) Cups HTTPS redirected me to <server>.local (I will
mention this in an other bug report). After disabling avahi-daemon
cups HTTPS redirected me to the IP of the server but I still have the
same bug. So I tried system-config-printer to configure cups remotely.
Goto server --> cups server, username, require encryption connect -->
password, OK --> select printer, on line make and model change -->
select printer from database, forward, select model and different
driver, forward --> use the new PPD, Apply. Everything is OK, so there
is no security problem.
I use 8.04-1 jeos on KVM for the print server
