client.conf - client configuration file for cups
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 macOS 10.7, this file is only used by command-
line and X11 applications plus the IPP backend. The ServerName
directive is not supported on macOS at all. Starting with macOS
10.12, all applications can access these settings in the
/Library/Preferences/org.cups.PrintingPrefs.plist file instead. See
the NOTES section below for more information.
DIRECTIVES
The following directives are understood by the client. Consult the
online help for detailed descriptions:
AllowAnyRoot Yes
AllowAnyRoot No
Specifies whether to allow TLS with certificates that have not
been signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. The default is
"Yes".
AllowExpiredCerts Yes
AllowExpiredCerts No
Specifies whether to allow TLS with expired certificates. The
default is "No".
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 is not supported
on macOS 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.
SSLOptions [AllowDH] [AllowRC4] [AllowSSL3] [DenyCBC] [DenyTLS1.0]
SSLOptions None
Sets encryption options (only in /etc/cups/client.conf). By
default, CUPS only supports encryption using TLS v1.0 or higher
using known secure cipher suites. The AllowDH option enables
cipher suites using plain Diffie-Hellman key negotiation. The
AllowRC4 option enables the 128-bit RC4 cipher suites, which are
required for some older clients that do not implement newer
ones. The AllowSSL3 option enables SSL v3.0, which is required
for some older clients that do not support TLS v1.0. The
DenyCBC option disables all CBC cipher suites. The DenyTLS1.0
option disables TLS v1.0 support - this sets the minimum
protocol version to TLS v1.1.
TrustOnFirstUse Yes
TrustOnFirstUse No
Specifies whether to trust new TLS certificates by default. The
default is "Yes".
User name
Specifies the default user name to use for requests.
ValidateCerts Yes
ValidateCerts No
Specifies whether to only allow TLS with certificates whose
common name matches the hostname. The default is "No".
The client.conf file is deprecated on macOS and will no longer be
supported in a future version of CUPS. Configuration settings can
instead be viewed or changed using the defaults(1) command:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.cups.PrintingPrefs.plist Encryption Required
defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.cups.PrintingPrefs.plist TrustOnFirstUse -bool NO
defaults read /Library/Preferences/org.cups.PrintingPrefs.plist Encryption
On Linux and other systems using GNU TLS, the /etc/cups/ssl/site.crl
file, if present, provides a list of revoked X.509 certificates and
is used when validating certificates.
