  • CUPS - how to enable HTTPS?

    Posted on

    Hello,

    I found some documentation on how to enable HTTPS on RHL, but it's not all quite clear.

    https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/deploying_different_types_of_servers/configuring-printing_deploying-different-types-of-servers#installing-certificates-for-print-server_configuring-printing

    Section - 16.9. Installing certificates for a print server

    All it says is to set the following directive in the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to:

    Encryption Required

    Restart the cups service:

    $ sudo systemctl restart cups

    How about the certificate files I have in /etc/cups/ssl?

    [root@accordwell ssl]# ls -ltr
    total 8
    -rw-------. 1 root lp 1704 Dec 12 2019 server.key
    -rw-------. 1 root lp 1407 Dec 12 2019 server.crt

    Will the CUPS WEB UI pick these up? Or do I need to somehow re-generate them?

    Regards
    Richard
