[cups.general] Configuring cupsd.conf

[Mike_Giammarino at praxair.com]

I've spent some time trying to configure cups, even had some local help, 
still no luck.
Allow All works but, must limit access to selected locations and users via 
Windows.

HPUX 11.23   running cups.   hostname.abcd.company.com
Windows XP V. 2003 SP 2  hostname.yz.company.com
                                         username.yz.company.com
I.E. 6.0.29

configure --prefix=/usr/local/cups
Cups started   /sbin/inet.d/cups start
browser address http://hostname:631/

After getting the CUPS home page, selected administration, receive 403 
Forbidden.

Selecting classes receive, 426 Upgrade Required
You must access this page using URL 
https://hostname.abcd.company.com:631/classes/.
Receive security alert, do you want to proceed?
Then required to login to the server, now can configure classes.
Browsing to https://hostname.abcd.company.com:631/classes/  will work.
