Philip Thompson updated CASSANDRA-12525:
----------------------------------------
Summary: When adding new nodes to a cluster which has authentication
enabled, we end up losing cassandra user's current crendentials and they get
reverted back to default cassandra/cassandra crendetials (was: When adding new
nodes to a cluster which has authentication enabled, we end up loosing
cassandra user's current crendentials and they get reverted back to default
cassandra/cassandra crendetials)

> Key: CASSANDRA-12525
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12525
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Configuration
> Reporter: Atin Sood
> Priority: Minor
>
> Made the following observation:
> When adding new nodes to an existing C* cluster with authentication enabled
> we end up loosing password information about `cassandra` user.
> Initial Setup
> - Create a 5 node cluster with system_auth having RF=5 and
> NetworkTopologyStrategy
> - Enable PasswordAuthenticator on this cluster and update the password for
> 'cassandra' user to say 'password' via the alter query
> - Make sure you run nodetool repair on all the nodes
> Test case
> - Now go ahead and add 5 more nodes to this cluster.
> - Run nodetool repair on all the 10 nodes now
> - Decommission the original 5 nodes such that only the new 5 nodes are in the
> cluster now
> - Run cqlsh and try to connect to this cluster using old user name and
> password, cassandra/password
> I was unable to connect to the nodes with the original credentials and was
> only able to connect using the default cassandra/cassandra credentials
> From the conversation over IIRC
> `beobal: sood: that definitely shouldn't happen. The new nodes should only
> create the default superuser role if there are 0 roles currently defined
> (including that default one)`
