Situation
Secure iPrint authentication will fail with the following message
if users log in with an alias user:
Printer authentication failed. Do you want to try again?
Printer authentication failed. Do you want to try again?
Resolution
Configure the iPrint Apache authentication module to derefence
alias objects. Follow these step:
1. Modify the iPrint server's /etc/opt/novell/iprint/httpd/conf/iprint_ssl.conf to include this statement:
AuthLDAPDNDereferenceAliases never
For an example of where to include this statement within the file:
AuthLDAPDNRemoteUserIsDN on
AuthzLDAPDNAuthoritative Off
AuthLDAPDNAllowDNAuth on
AuthLDAPDNDereferenceAliases never
2. Save the change and restart Apache:
rcapache2 restart
