"AuthInfoRequired" in CUPS configuration file "printers.conf" is rewritten in RHEL
Issue
- The
AuthInfoRequiredparameter was set intonone, but it's being rewritten tousername,passwordautomatically. - problems with printer authentication
- We are having problems with the authentication of the printers. Basically the problem consists of the CUPS configuration used in a system without authentication ("
AuthInfoRequired none"), but periodically this value changes and stays configured for authentication with user and password ("AuthInfoRequired username,password"). - Currently we are experimenting a problem with the
printers.conffile. This file within its parameters has theAuthInfoRequiredvalue as "none" for all the printers; however, it tends to overwrite eventually with the value, "username,password"
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 & 6
- Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)
