Description Alessandro Crespi 2005-07-04 07:41:39 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
The Location directives in cupsd.conf are case sensitive, so if I define an ACL for a print queue named "printer", it is not applied if I print to "Printer" or "prinTer". It is clearly not possible to enter ACLs for all possible cases (for "Printer" it would mean 128 possibilities...).

This issue is documented and has already been fixed in CUPS 1.1.21rc1 (see http://www.cups.org/str.php?L700).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-1.1.17-13.3.27

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add an ACL for a printer, for example:

<Location /printers/printer>
.....
</Location>

Then print to it by using a different case for the name (e.g. Printer).

Actual Results:  You can print circumvent the ACL.

Expected Results:  The Location directive must be treated in a case-insensitive way, as print queue names are.
