After adding printer in MacBook Pro, users can’t print page. When they try to print, print job is held with the following status:-
On hold (authentication required):
Solution 1: Enter users ID and password
- Aug 01, 2014 Because we're a bi-computer family, my husband has our printer set up on his new Windows 8.1 machine. I was able to network my MacBook running Mavericks and use the printer fine when he was using his Windows 7 machine, but even though I'm able to see the printer, every time I attempt to print the document, I get the 'Hold For Authentication.'
- Mac OS X Server Migrating from Windows NT to Version 10.4 or Later Move accounts, shared folders, and services from Windows NT servers to Mac OS X Server. Mac OS X Server Java Application Server Administration For Version 10.4 or Later Configure and administer a JBoss application server on Mac OS X Server. Mac OS X Server Command-Line.
- Click the Resume button.
- Enter your user id and password in the authentication window.
For MD5 authentication you need different commands. First use ip ospf message-digest-key X md5 to specify the key number and a password. It doesn’t matter which key number you choose but it has to be the same on both ends. To enable OSPF authentication you need to type in ip ospf authentication.
Solution 2: Delete printer based password in Keychain
If you are still getting “Authentication Required” error when your try to connecting to a shared printer which is connected to a Mac or Windows,
- Launch Keychain Access and delete all items/passwords linked to the problem printer.
- Try to print again.
- It now show a dialog box to enter your username and password.
- Enter Username : guest, Password : guest.
- Tick he check box “remember” in keychain.
- Press OK.

Authentication and authorization are a key aspect of computer security. Authentication means determining the identity of a user, server, or client. Authorization means determining whether that user, server, or client as permission to do something. Permissions are settings on a file or other object that define who or what is allowed to use it and what they are allowed to do with it. This document describes the way macOS approaches authentication, authorization, and permissions.
Note: Authentication, authorization, and permissions are mostly relevant in the context of multiuser systems. As a result, this document only discusses macOS.
At a Glance
Mac Os X Print Hold For Authentication
As you saw in Security Overview, macOS provides a wide range of security technologies that you can use when securing your application and its data. Authentication, authorization, and permissions in macOS are largely based on two open-source standards: Mach and BSD. These technologies sit at the lowest layer of macOS. The cryptography used for storing passwords and other secret information is provided by higher level technologies, such as Common Crypto. Common Crypto is an Apple open source technology that provides support for symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, and other cryptography-related tasks.
Historical Note: Many macOS security services were originally built on top of CDSA, but that is now deprecated. See Cryptographic Services Guide for information about CDSA.
On top of these three technologies, macOS layers a number of security APIs (most of which are in the Core Services layer), including Security Transforms, the Security Interface framework, and Keychain Services. The Security Objective-C API is described in this document. The others are described in Cryptographic Services Guide.
macOS Provides Many Authentication and Identification Schemes and Technologies
There are many different ways to do authentication and identification, and macOS provides a number of authentication-related APIs and UI elements to help you. macOS also provides a number of authentication features to help you integrate macOS into enterprise environments.

Authorization Services Provides Centralized Management of Privileges
The Authorization Services API lets you run privileged helpers, and lets you use a single, central source of information for limiting what features of your app are usable by different accounts on the system. The Authorization Services API is not supported in sandboxed apps.
Note: Writing authorization plug-ins is beyond the scope of this document. To learn more about writing these plug-ins, read Running At Login.
Permissions and Access Control Limit Program Behavior
macOS supports permissions systems at various levels of the system, from Mach ports to file system permissions and mandatory access control.
The BSD portions of macOS provide fundamental services, including a user and group identification scheme, file system security policies based on users and groups, and network security policies.
The Mach portions of the macOS kernel provide fundamental services, including memory management, process management, thread management, hardware abstraction (with the help of the I/O Kit), and Mach port-based communication. Mach enforces access by controlling which tasks can send a message to a given Mach port, where a Mach port represents a task or some other Mach resource.
