Josh McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-17457: ------------------------------------------- I'd qualify this as an Improvement personally. A useful one for sure! But matters for ticket categorization and release targeting. > User password strength > ---------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-17457 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17457 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Feature/Authorization > Reporter: Berenguer Blasi > Priority: Normal > Labels: low-hanging-fruit > > Currently we can create a user with a very insecure password such as 'A'. > _CREATE ROLE coach WITH PASSWORD = 'A' AND LOGIN = true;_ > > As we can see there are no restrictions on length, characters, etc We should > discuss and adopt some best practices in this area. A warning would be the > preference instead of erroring out. Historically this has been left to be > dealt by LDAP or other auth systems so we can't error out. > Newcomers: > - We should add warnings when a weak password is provided on DCL CQL. The > {{validate}} method looks like a good place at face value. Fell free to > analyze and suggest otherwise. See {{ClientWarn}} usages for examples. > - We should add junit methods for the newly created warnings -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
