have you tried asking over a cups.org?
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?gcups.general+T+Q%22authentication+certificate%22
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?s1+gcups.general+v8+T0+Q%22authentication+certificate%22

Do you always get
"cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!"??

assumption: restarting cups or rebooting the machine has not helped.

what does
ls /etc/cups/certs /var/run/cups/certs
return?


did you use
touch /.autorelabel; reboot
or
restorecon -R -v PATHTOMOUNTPOINT
for your SELinux problem the other day?
I see a message from you at 22 Jan 2008 04:49:57 -0800, indicating you are 
still having SOME kind of SELinux problem.

could it be you need to
restorecon -R -v /var
???
i.e. you may NEED to redo the whole system with the
touch /.autorelabel; reboot

BTW I was curious so I looked some of this up, I do not necessarily have a 
great understanding of what is going on. use at your own risk.
