Configure CUPS Web Interface for SSL CentOS 6
Configure CUPS Web Interface for SSL CentOS 6
In this scenario, we already have CUPS configured on CentOS6, but we want to make it a bit more secure internally. Here’s the basic steps:
login, and su to root
from here cd to /etc/pki/tls/certs
make a key for CUPS
enter the passphrase twice, and hit enter
issue the following command, and enter the passphrase
you should see “Writing RSA Key”
now generate a CSR
fill in all questions asked honesly, issue the following command to self-sign the certificate
all set, now we just need to add the Certificate to the CUPS config, make a backup first…….
add the following 2 lines:
restart CUPS once completed
from here we should be able to access “https://cupsservername:631”
Done!
