http printing username problem
Hello,
we have set up a print server with restricted access by username and password. Clients connect to the server via http (server is cups). Everything works fine when we disable user access control on the server. But when enabling it, we realize that the Win XP clients use the current username to authenticate instead of the username we have specified in the printing settings dialog. We noticed this through the servers log files. The question is, whether there is a way to make windows transmit the specified username together with the password. Thank you, Benjamin. |

Under securityoptions we select "Use the specified user account" and type in the desired username and password. The checkbox "Use the same security settings for all users" unchecks automatically even if we check it. The problem is, that windows doesn't use the specified user information. Any ideas? Thank you, Benjamin. |

http printing username problem
Is the target server Windows?
I'm thinking the remote machine is UNIX of some sort. If it is, is SAMBA running? -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

http printing username problem
Is the target server Windows?
I'm thinking the remote machine is UNIX of some sort. If it is, is SAMBA running? The remote server is a linux machine running a cups print server which uses the IPP Protocol. To keep the system simple I don't want to use samba if possible. It seems to me that XP is able to use the IPP protocol for printing, including the possibility to use a specific username and password. Isn't this possible without using samba? Thanks, Benjamin. |
