When a Leopard-based Mac is bound to an Active Directory, is the client now
using Kerberos for authenticated printing?
It has been noted that authenticated AD printing is now working. Leopard
includes CUPS 1.3.3, and the CUPS "What's new" page lists Kerberized
printing as a feature of CUPS v1.3. I'm just trying to put the pieces
together.
Not by default - you still need to activate Kerberos ("Negotiate")
authentication in the cupsd.conf file. Look at the help file at:
for instructions. Once configured on the server, you should be able
do Kerberos-authenticated printing from your client machines assuming
they are also using Leopard and have AD or OD setup for logins...
That said, there is a reported bug with our current implementation
with Windows Server 2003 R2 - apparently the credentials that Windows
supplies are larger than 2k (the limit set in the current Leopard
build), so Kerberos authentication doesn't currently work against
(at least) that version of Windows. The fix is already in the current
stable CUPS release (1.3.4)...
