Bug#369563: cups: won't delete jobs with AuthType Group
Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-10sarge1
I've been trying to get CUPS to allow cancelling of jobs via the web
interface. The browser would get an "client-error-forbidden" error and
the log would show
cancel_job "user" not authorized to delete job id ## owned by "other"
I tried using:
<Location /jobs>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass Group
AuthGroupName admin
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.0/24
Allow From 10.0.1.2/16
</Location>
But it didn't work. I could see the jobs but not cancel them. So I
switched to the following...
<Location /jobs>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.0/24
Allow From 10.0.1.2/16
</Location>
And that worked. Only "AuthClass System" will honor the "admin" group.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they're not.
