I've been trying to investigate how to configure Solaris built in IPP print
client so that it can send print jobs to a remove IPP-capable print server
(CUPS-based) that requires:
SSL encryption
Authentication
Now I think that the built in client doesn't support SSL. Right? That I can
solve via some creative use of 'stunnel'. Ie, something like this:
# cat ipp-stunnel.conf:
pid = /tmp/ipp-stunnel.pid
[ipp]
accept = 631
connect = ipp.the-oh-so-very-fine-central-print-server.liu.se:631
client = yes
# ./stunnel ./ipp-stunnel.conf &
# lpset -a printer-uri-supported=ipp://localhost/printers/PRINTERNAME test
The authentication issue is a different one though. My users will need to
authenticate as specific users (with different username and password that have
no connection to the local login usernames and passwords). And I right in that
one should be able to do something like this?
# accept ipp://myusername:mypassword at localhost/printers/
Other suggestions would be very nice... (Going to run into this issue on both
the latest OpenSolaris-running clients and Solaris 10 (latest release) clients).
