Fixing CUPS login problems on SUSE

Fixing CUPS login problems on SuSE

SUSE: What Password Do I Use At The Web Interface?

SuSE defaults to using Digest passwords and "RunAsUser yes", which means you have to use the lppasswd command to add accounts and passwords.

To add a user named Steve:

     lppasswd -a Steve

Then enter and confirm a password.

SUSE does not follow the normal CUPS defaults and the lppasswd information doesn't follow changes to the normal accounts, causing a lot of confusion.

Any problems using this set up should be addressed to SUSE.

To set SUSE to the standard default settings of CUPS:

1) Goto /etc/cups/cups.conf

2) Change in <Location /admin> the AuthType: AuthType Basic

3) Change RunAsUser to No.
