From 4393eab921d3db112a7db29288e850321d59b124 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominic Mayers Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2022 22:09:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Change cupsd.conf to force authentication when accessing administration With the current default configuration, someone can request to Find New Printers without being authenticated and with no way to be authenticated. Without authentication cups does not detects printers on the network. The person might not realize that it's because authentication is missing. It seems natural to always offer to authenticate when accessing the administration page.
