Paul Makkar created CASSANDRA-7424: -------------------------------------- Summary: cassandra authentication failure 1.2.11 Key: CASSANDRA-7424 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7424 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Environment: linux 2.6.18-371.6.1.el5 x86_64, cassandra 1.2.11. 6 Node cluster, 3 in DC1 and 3 in DC2. Reporter: Paul Makkar
I am having issues enabling authentication. On my 6 node cluster, I took one node and followed the instruction in the cassandra 1.2 guide, i.e. set authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator in the cassandra.yaml and restart cassandra. However, when I restart cassandra and try logging in, it hangs for a few seconds followed by the following error message: cassandra-cli -username cassandra -password cassandra Exception during authentication to the cassandra node, Verify the keyspace exists, and that you are using the correct credentials. The system_auth keyspace does exist: $ find system_auth/ system_auth/ system_auth/users system_auth/credentials system_auth/permissions I then tried setting the authoriser in the cassandra.yaml: authorizer: org.apache.cassandra.auth.CassandraAuthorizer But I get the same error. Then I disabled authentication and increased the replication factor of system_auth keyspace: update keyspace system_auth with placement_strategy = 'NetworkTopologyStrategy' and strategy_options = {DC1 : 3, DC2 : 3} and durable_writes = true; I reenabled authentication, but get the same error. I then shutdown cassandra and deleted the system, system_auth, system_traces data directories and restarted. I get the same error. Trying to log on with the cqlsh client gives this error: cql.cassandra.ttypes.AuthenticationException: AuthenticationException(why='org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.ReadTimeoutException: Operation timed out - received only 1 responses.') Can any advise what is going wrong here? Thanks in advance. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
