.TH client.conf 5 "CUPS" "19 May 2015" "Apple Inc."
.SH NAME
client.conf \- client configuration file for cups (deprecated)
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBclient.conf\fR file configures the CUPS client and is normally located in the \fI/etc/cups\fR and/or \fI~/.cups\fR directories.
Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines start with the # character.
.LP
\fBNote:\fR Starting with OS X 10.7, this file is only used by command-line and X11 applications plus the IPP backend.
The \fBServerName\fR directive is not supported on OS X at all.
.SS DIRECTIVES
The following directives are understood by the client. Consult the online help for detailed descriptions:
.TP 5
\fBAllowAnyRoot Yes\fR
.TP 5
\fBAllowAnyRoot No\fR
Specifies whether to allow TLS with certificates that have not been signed by a trusted Certificate Authority.
The default is "Yes".
.TP 5
\fBAllowExpiredCerts Yes\fR
.TP 5
\fBAllowExpiredCerts No\fR
Specifies whether to allow TLS with expired certificates.
The default is "Yes".
.TP 5
\fBEncryption IfRequested\fR
.TP 5
\fBEncryption Never\fR
.TP 5
\fBEncryption Required\fR
Specifies the level of encryption that should be used.
.TP 5
\fBGSSServiceName \fIname\fR
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".
.TP 5
\fBServerName \fIhostname-or-ip-address\fR[\fI:port\fR]
.TP 5
\fBServerName \fI/domain/socket\fR
Specifies the address and optionally the port to use when connecting to the server.
\fBNote: This directive it not supported on OS X 10.7 or later.\fR
.TP 5
\fBServerName \fIhostname-or-ip-address\fR[\fI:port\fR]\fB/version=1.1\fR
Specifies the address and optionally the port to use when connecting to a server running CUPS 1.3.12 and earlier.
.TP 5
\fBSSLOptions \fR[\fIAllowDH\fR] [\fIAllowRC4\fR] [\fIAllowSSL3\fR] [\fIDenyTLS1.0\fR]
.TP 5
\fBSSLOptions None\fR
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 \fIAllowDH\fR option enables cipher suites using plain Diffie-Hellman key negotiation.
The \fIAllowRC4\fR option enables the 128-bit RC4 cipher suites, which are required for some older clients that do not implement newer ones.
The \fIAllowSSL3\fR option enables SSL v3.0, which is required for some older clients that do not support TLS v1.0.
The \fIDenyTLS1.0\fR option disables TLS v1.0 support - this sets the minimum protocol version to TLS v1.1.
.TP 5
\fBUser \fIname\fR
Specifies the default user name to use for requests.
.TP 5
\fBValidateCerts Yes\fR
.TP 5
\fBValidateCerts No\fR
Specifies whether to only allow TLS with certificates whose common name matches the hostname.
The default is "No".
.SH NOTES
The \fBclient.conf\fR file is deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future version of CUPS.
