13The <b>client.conf</b> file configures the CUPS client and is normally located in the <i>/etc/cups</i> and/or <i>~/.cups</i> directories.
14Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines start with the # character.
15<p><b>Note:</b> Starting with OS X 10.7, this file is only used by command-line and X11 applications.
16The <b>ServerName</b> directive is not supported on OS X at all.
17<h3><a name="DIRECTIVES">Directives</a></h3>
18The following directives are understood by the client. Consult the online help for detailed descriptions:
19<dl class="man">
20<dt><b>AllowAnyRoot Yes</b>
21<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>AllowAnyRoot No</b>

42<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>SSLOptions None</b>
43<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets encryption options (only in /etc/cups/client.conf).
44By default, CUPS only supports encryption using TLS v1.0 or higher using known secure cipher suites.
45The <i>AllowRC4</i> option enables the 128-bit RC4 cipher suites, which are required for some older clients that do not implement newer ones.
46The <i>AllowSSL3</i> option enables SSL v3.0, which is required for some older clients that do not support TLS v1.0.
