Mike,
I can live with #3. I see no reason to keep
"original-requesting-user-name" around as a job attribute. I believe
the updates below represent #3.
Original:
10.8.2. original-requesting-user-name (name(MAX)) Operation and Job
Description Attribute
The operation attribute containing the user name of the original
user; i.e., corresponding to the "requesting-user-name" operation
attribute (see [RFC2911], section 3.2.1.1) that the original client
supplied to the first Printer object. The Printer copies the
"original-requesting-user-name" operation attribute to the
corresponding Job Description attribute.
Corrected:
10.8.2. original-requesting-user-name (name(MAX)) Operation Attribute
The operation attribute containing the user name of the original
user; i.e., corresponding to the "job-originating-user-name" Job
attribute (see [RFC2911], section 4.3.6) that identifies the Job
owner on the first Printer object. The Printer copies the
"original-requesting-user-name" operation attribute to the
"job-originating-user-name" Job Description attribute.
Original:
10.8.4. job-originating-user-name (name(MAX)) Job Description Attribute
- Additional Semantics
The "job-originating-user-name" Job Description attribute (see
[RFC2911], section 4.3.6) remains as the authenticated original user,
not the parent Printer's authenticated host, and is forwarded by each
client without changing the value.

not the parent Printer's authenticated host, and is forwarded by each
client in the "original-requesting-user-name" operation attribute
without changing the value.

Pete,
My point about forwarding is that the mechanism for authenticating the
original-requesting-user-name and job-originating-user-name values over
IPP is undefined. How/why do the child printers implicitly trust
everything that is sent to them from the parent printer?
But again, the current wording makes original-requesting-user-name and
job-originating-user-name distinctly different:
original-requesting-user-name is the value that was supplied by the
client while job-originating-user-name is the most authenticated name.
Your proposed change would effectively make them the same, in which case
we should:
1. Remove forwarding of job-originating-user-name entirely,
2. Delete original-requesting-user-name entirely, or
3. Make original-requesting-user-name exclusively an operation attribute
and use it to pass the forwarded job-originating-user-name value in the
fan-out case (this would, IMHO, be the sanest approach).

Mike,
The semantics are limited to Job forwarding systems of printers
(i.e. IPP Fan out and fan in). On the first system the Job's
"original-job-requesting-user-name" and "job-originating-user-name" are
populated with the same value. Per rfc2911 that value is the most
authenticated printable name that it can obtain from the authentication
service over which the IPP operation was received. Only if such is not
available, does the Printer object use the value supplied by the client
in the "requesting-user-name". On the next hop is where things diverge.
The upstream printer uses its own identity in the
"requesting-user-name" operational attribute. It also passes along the
"original-requesting-user-name" as an operational attribute. The
downstream printer uses the "requesting-user-name", or the identity
obtained from a trusted protocol layer, to insure the request is from a
configured upstream printer. The downstream printer then copies over
the "original-job-requesting-user-name" operational attribute to the job
object AND to the job object's "job-originating-user-name". In other
words the child job is owned by the initial submitting user throughout
the chain and not by the immediate parent (i.e. IPP Printers).

Pete,
If we make this change, then what is the difference between
original-requesting-user-name and job-originating-user-name?
Section 10.8.4 (re)defines job-originating-user-name as the
authenticated original user and whose value is supposed to be forwarded
by each client unchanged... (something I am not 100% happy with since
there is no provision for it in an IPP job submission)
Seems like the original intent was for
original-requesting-user-name to be the unauthenticated value.
(and now I go off to add some text for this to JPS3 for
job-originating-user-uri...)

All,
Section 10.8.2 covering "original-requesting-user-name" is a bit
misleading. The issue is that the Job owner is not always the same as
the "requesting-user-name". When forwarding jobs from one printer to
another the "original-requesting-user-name" is the most authenticated
printable name that can be obtained. As stated in section 10.8.8 of
rfc3998: "The "job-originating-user-name" Job Description attribute
(see [RFC2911], section 4.3.6) remains as the authenticated original
user". This is inconsistent with section 10.8.2 as currently written.
Below is my proposed change to section 10.8.2.
Original:
10.8.2. original-requesting-user-name (name(MAX)) Operation and
Job
Description Attribute
The operation attribute containing the user name of the
original
user; i.e., corresponding to the "requesting-user-name"
operation
attribute (see [RFC2911], section 3.2.1.1) that the original
client
supplied to the first Printer object. The Printer copies the
"original-requesting-user-name" operation attribute to the
corresponding Job Description attribute.
Corrected:
10.8.2. original-requesting-user-name (name(MAX)) Operation and
Job
Description Attribute
The operation attribute containing the user name of the
original
user; i.e., corresponding to the "job-originating-user-name"
Job
attribute (see [RFC2911], section 4.3.6) that identifies the
Job
owner on the first Printer object. The Printer copies the
"original-requesting-user-name" operation attribute to the
corresponding Job Description attribute.
