  12 <h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
  13 The
  14 <i>cupsd.conf</i>
  15 file configures the CUPS scheduler,
  16 <a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8).</a>
  17 It is normally located in the
  18 <i>/etc/cups</i>
  19 directory.
  20 <b>Note:</b> File, directory, and user configuration directives that used to be allowed in the <b>cupsd.conf</b> file are now stored in the
  21 <a href="man-cups-files.conf.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cups-files.conf</b>(5)</a>
  22 file instead in order to prevent certain types of privilege escalation attacks.
  23 <p>Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment.
  24 Configuration directives typically consist of a name and zero or more values separated by whitespace.
  25 The configuration directive name and values are case-insensitive.
  26 Comment lines start with the # character.

  99 A limit of 0 disables filter limiting.
 100 An average print to a non-PostScript printer needs a filter limit of about 200.
 101 A PostScript printer needs about half that (100).
 102 Setting the limit below these thresholds will effectively limit the scheduler to printing a single job at any time.

 117 The "Double" setting causes
 118 <a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8)</a>
 119 to verify that the hostname resolved from the address matches one of the addresses returned for that hostname.
 120 Double lookups also prevent clients with unregistered addresses from connecting to your server.
 121 The default is "Off" to avoid the potential server performance problems with hostname lookups.
 122 Only set this option to "On" or "Double" if absolutely required.
 123 <dt><a name="IdleExitTimeout"></a><b>IdleExitTimeout </b><i>seconds</i>
 124 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the length of time to wait before shutting down due to inactivity.

 250 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">The ServerAlias directive is used for HTTP Host header validation when clients connect to the scheduler from external interfaces.
 251 Using the special name "*" can expose your system to known browser-based DNS rebinding attacks, even when accessing sites through a firewall.
 252 If the auto-discovery of alternate names does not work, we recommend listing each alternate name with a ServerAlias directive instead of using "*".

 284 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets encryption options.
 285 By default, CUPS only supports encryption using TLS v1.0 or higher using known secure cipher suites.
 286 The <i>AllowDH</i> option enables cipher suites using the horribly insecure anonymous Diffie-Hellman key negotiation which is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
 287 The <i>AllowRC4</i> option enables the insecure 128-bit RC4 cipher suites, which are required for some older clients that do not implement newer ones.
 288 The <i>AllowSSL3</i> option enables the insecure SSL v3.0 protocol, which is required for some older clients that do not support TLS v1.0.
 289 The <i>DenyCBC</i> option disables all CBC cipher suites.
 290 The <i>DenyTLS1.0</i> option disables TLS v1.0 support - this sets the minimum protocol version to TLS v1.1.
