And yes, the author agrees there were problems with it (the ones we discovered), and concludes with us that the way is to create a user with a ";Basic;" authentication authority ("Basic" in Open Directory's terminology here, not cups' one!).


Which would be not the best idea since you're giving up the security afforded to you by shadowing.

You would be fully right if the goal had been to revert to a basic authentication authority throughout the whole system.

The problem here was to make cups' web interface authentication functional.
So that one specialised user may authenticate through that interface.
Moreover, for a local user only.

The other practical alternative is no authentication at all with cups.

Which do you prefer? ;-)
