The "ExtensibleAuth" page has been changed by jeremyhanna. The comment on this change is: Specifying changes specific to 0.7.. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ExtensibleAuth?action=diff&rev1=1&rev2=2 -------------------------------------------------- Cassandra uses an extensible authentication/authorization mechanism found in the org.apache.cassandra.auth Java source package. It is configured in conf/storage-conf.xml (0.6.x) and conf/cassandra.yaml (0.7+). There are two implementations built-in: - * The default `AllowAllAuthenticator`/`AllowAllAuthority` approach is essentially pass-through. + * The default `AllowAllAuthenticator` approach is essentially pass-through. 0.7 adds `AllowAllAuthority`. - * The `SimpleAuthenticator`/`SimpleAuthority` combination is property file based (using passwd.properties and access.properties respectively). For more information on this approach, see the source in org.apache.cassandra.auth. + * `SimpleAuthenticator` is property file based (using passwd.properties and access.properties). For more information on this approach, see the source in org.apache.cassandra.auth. 0.7 adds `SimpleAuthority` and its access.properties configuration is slightly different. - Both of the built-in options implement `IAuthenticator`/`IAuthority`. Cassandra users needing more sophisticated auth functionality can implement these interfaces. + Both of the built-in options implement `IAuthenticator` (and `IAuthority` in 0.7). Those wanting custom auth implementations can start there.
