What governs the password difficulty for lppasswd?
As far as I know it is hardcoded rules in the CUPS sources.
I'm trying to set it the same as my root password and it's not accepting it.
You should be very thankful that it failed for you, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=148099 By the way: Regarding how to use SSL/TLS (aka. "HTTPS") for the cupsd, see /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/ENCRYPTION.txt To allow only SSL/TLS for administration stuff set in cupsd.conf --------------------------------------- <Location /admin> ... Encryption Required --------------------------------------- The problem with "Encryption Required" is: Neither Mozilla nor Konqueror work with it. There is no "IPPS" port in /etc/services because an additional port for the secure version of IPP was rejected because "Upgrading to TLS Within HTTP" (RFC 2817) must be used nowadays. Unfortunately neither Mozilla nor Konqueror support "Upgrading to TLS Within HTTP" see the Mozilla bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276813 ------------------------------------------------------------------- The TLS upgrade was designed for some specific applications such as the Internet Printing Protocol, not for general browser and server use. ... an appropriate URL scheme has not been created for TLS upgrade, and I consider the http:// URL scheme to be inappropriate" ------------------------------------------------------------------- :-( A workaround: Let cupsd provide HTTPS via a CUPS-specific SSLPort, e.g.: 4433 (set additionally "SSLPort 4433" in cupsd.conf) and use the right URL directly in the browser (e.g. https://localhost:4433/admin) and/or change the URLs in the HTTP templates in CUPS (e.g. in /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/index.html) so that the administration links point to the right URLs.
