NAME¶

client.conf - client configuration file for cups

DESCRIPTION¶

The client.conf file configures the CUPS client and is normally located in the /etc/cups or ~/.cups directory. Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines start with the # character.

DIRECTIVES¶

The following directives are understood by the client. Consult the on-line help for detailed descriptions:

Encryption IfRequested

Encryption Never

Encryption Required

Specifies the level of encryption that is required for a particular location.

GSSServiceName name

Specifies the Kerberos service name that is used for authentication, typically "host", "http", or "ipp". CUPS adds the remote hostname ("name@server.example.com") for you. The default name is "host".

ServerName hostname-or-ip-address[:port]

ServerName /domain/socket

Specifies the address and optionally the port to use when connecting to the server. Note: Not supported on OS X 10.7 or later.

ServerName hostname-or-ip-address[:port]/version=1.1

Specifies the address and optionally the port to use when connecting to a server running CUPS 1.3.12 and earlier. Note: Not supported on OS X 10.7 or later.

SSLOptions [AllowRC4] [Allow SSL3] [MinTLS1.2]

Sets SSL/TLS protocol options for encrypted connections. By default, CUPS only supports encryption using TLS v1.0 or higher using known secure cipher suites. The AllowRC4 option enables the 128-bit RC4 cipher suites, which are required for some older clients that do not implement newer ones. The AllowSSL3 option enables SSL v3.0, which is required for some older clients that do not support TLS v1.0. The MinTLS1.2 option enforces CUPS to use TLS v1.2 and higher.

User name

Specifies the default user name to use for requests.
