cups - don't login promp when modifying a printer

Just installed Leap 15.

When going to the cups admin page (http://localhost:631/admin) I get the following message:
“Enter your username and password or the root username and password to access this page. If you are using Kerberos authentication, make sure you have a valid Kerberos ticket.”

There is no login prompt, although I expect a login prompt (for root + passwd).

In /var/log/cups/error_log, there are the following lines:

W [04/Aug/2018:10:14:28 +0200] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files

cups seems to be running as user ‘lp’:

# ps auxwww | grep cups
root       986  0.0  0.1  91796  8488 ?        Ss   10:14   0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -l
lp        1167  0.0  0.0  84092  5780 ?        S    10:14   0:00 /usr/lib/cups/notifier/dbus dbus://

Does anyone have a suggestion to make cups provide a prompt with credentials when visiting the printer pages…???

Which browser are you using? There should be a pop up dialogue window presented. Are you sure it’s not just hidden for some reason?

Browser: chromium. No hidden popup window.

I tried with Firefox, and guess what; it works the way I expect it (login prompt window) in Firefox.

Looks browser related!

As I suspected might be the case :wink:
