[cups.bugs] Re: [LOW] STR #1560: admin web interface does not ask for authentication any more

[Michael Sweet]

[STR Closed w/Resolution]

This is as designed - the user is only asked for a password as needed.

You can alter the default configuration to require authentication on
/admin for your own distro, however the intent is to only challenge the
user when they actually do something that requires authentication, not
just authenticate all of the time by default.
