I added these 2 lines containing @LOCAL to the Location / and /admin
0 root@oystercatcher:/etc/cups#grep -C2 LOCAL cupsd.conf
BrowseAllow all
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS dnssd
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
# Default authentication type, when authentication is required...
--
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow @LOCAL
</Location>
--
<Location /admin>
Order allow,deny
Allow @LOCAL
</Location>
0 root@oystercatcher:/etc/cups#
with /admin/conf still requiring a user
0 root@oystercatcher:/etc/cups#grep -A5 admin/conf cupsd.conf
<Location /admin/conf>
AuthType Default
Require user @SYSTEM
Order allow,deny
</Location>
And this user is lpadmin:
0 root@oystercatcher:/etc/cups#grep -B1 jan cupsd.conf
SystemGroup lpadmin
ServerAdmin j...@aims.ac.za
0 root@oystercatcher:/etc/cups#grep lpadmin /etc/group
lpadmin:x:109:jan
0 root@oystercatcher:/etc/cups#
I tested this and anyone can view / or /admin by browsing to
https://192.168.42.6:631/
and /admin/conf (e.g. click Add a printer), I can now log in, and another user
not in
the group lpadmin can not continue so that part is good.
However, I still have Listen oystercatcher.aims.ac.za:631 and accessing via
hostname,
not IP, I get 400 Bad Request.
I can continue my server setup, but the ubuntu wiki and server documentation is
still lacking,
and there is still something wrong (or misunderstood or mis-configured by me)
with the Listen directive
in cupsd.conf for the hostname access.
