Andy Tolbert commented on CASSANDRA-18778: ------------------------------------------ {quote} So, basically, the previous version was throwing exception if it was null OR empty. Now we throw if it is just null. {quote} Yep! That's what I am aiming for, which was the previous behavior I'd observed in C* 4.0. Technically {{null}} could be allowed I suspect, but I figured for consistency it should behave the same way (use an empty string for {{keystore_password}} when there is no password) > Empty keystore_password no longer allowed on encryption_options > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-18778 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18778 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Local/Config > Reporter: Andy Tolbert > Assignee: Andy Tolbert > Priority: Normal > Fix For: 4.1.x, 5.0.x > > > After CASSANDRA-18124 (introduced in 4.1.2 and 5.0) it is no longer possible > to set an empty {{keystore_password}} under {{client_encryption_options}} or > {{server_encryption_options}} using the default implementation > {{{}DefaultSslContextFactory{}}}. > While keytool does not allow generating keystores with empty passwords, it > does support reading them.
