client.conf(5)
client.conf - client configuration file for cups (deprecated)
The client.conf file configures the CUPS client and is normally located in the /etc/cups and/or ~/.cups directories.
Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines start with the # character.
Note: Starting with OS X 10.7, this file is only used by command-line and X11 applications.
The ServerName directive is not supported on OS X at all.
The following directives are understood by the client. Consult the online help for detailed descriptions:
- AllowAnyRoot Y
- AllowAnyRoot N
- Specifies whether to allow TLS with certificates that have not been signed by a trusted Certificate Authority.
The default is "Y".
- AllowExpiredCerts Y
- AllowExpiredCerts N
- Specifies whether to allow TLS with expired certificates.
The default is "Y".
- Encryption IfRequested
- Encryption Never
- Encryption Required
- Specifies the level of encryption that should be used.
- 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 "http".
- ServerName hostname-or-ip-address[:port]
- ServerName /domain/socket
- Specifies the address and optionally the port to use when connecting to the server.
Note: This directive it 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.
- User name
- Specifies the default user name to use for requests.
The client.conf file is deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future version of CUPS.
