We have an experimental IPV6 network and within this network, FreebSD CURRENT (r343087) is acting as a CUPS print server, while a bunch FreeBSD 12-STABLE boxes are CUPS clients. The setup, so far, worked with IPv4. Introducing IPv6 addresses on both server and host results in the error [Client 1] Unable to encrypt connection: An illegal parameter has been received. In file cups/client.conf we address the appropriate printer via ipps://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/printers/printer_name (IPv4 of the CUPS server host) This works fine. But ipps://[XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::XXXX]/printers/printer_name (IPv6 of the CUPS server host) doesn't work and results in the error on the server as shown above. I fiddled also around with the SSLOption parameter in client.conf and parallel, to match requiremets, in cups/cupsd.conf of the server host - with no effect. On the server side, it seems that all the documents I could pick up from cups.org or Apple do not specify any IPv6 address in an "Allow from" statement: everything seems to be stuck with IPv4. While the cupsd.conf SSLListen option is for IPv6 SSLListen [fd01:dead:beef::affe]:631 which works, I get an error when trying to put anything IPv6-similar with the convention with the brackets "[" and "]" in a "Allow from" option in the sections where I need to restrict access. An IPv6 without "[" and "]" seems to be accepted - but when coemmnting out ANY IPv4 address and leaving only IPV6 in the "Allow from " statement, no remote connection is allowed. This drives me nuts. Since the aim will be to have a printing facility within a IPv6 only network, I feel a bit lost. Does anyone have had similar problems? Regards, OliverReceived on Wed Jan 16 2019 - 13:23:57 UTC
