Jan Karlsson commented on CASSANDRA-10091: ------------------------------------------ [~beobal] I apologize for my long absence. How is the refactoring going? Next week I will try to find some time to write up some tests. > Align JMX authentication with internal authentication > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-10091 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10091 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jan Karlsson > Assignee: Jan Karlsson > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.x > > > It would be useful to authenticate with JMX through Cassandra's internal > authentication. This would reduce the overhead of keeping passwords in files > on the machine and would consolidate passwords to one location. It would also > allow the possibility to handle JMX permissions in Cassandra. > It could be done by creating our own JMX server and setting custom classes > for the authenticator and authorizer. We could then add some parameters where > the user could specify what authenticator and authorizer to use in case they > want to make their own. > This could also be done by creating a premain method which creates a jmx > server. This would give us the feature without changing the Cassandra code > itself. However I believe this would be a good feature to have in Cassandra. > I am currently working on a solution which creates a JMX server and uses a > custom authenticator and authorizer. It is currently build as a premain, > however it would be great if we could put this in Cassandra instead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
