[STR Closed w/o Resolution]
Hmm, I'm thinking that this really would be implemented on top of STR
#1308. Ultimately we could extend the current authenticated username to
be username at host for HTTP Basic and Digest authentication, similar to how
Kerberos uses username at REALM. A cupsd plug-in could then do any mapping
(the default mapping would be to strip the @foo part to do local user
authorization), logging, and/or access control.
Please follow-up with comments/requirements to STR #1308:
