Re: Authentication setup
Hey,
I'm too looking out for a similar thing. I guess this is a very common
requirement may be soon provided as built-in functionality packed with
cassandra setup.
Btw nice to see if someone has ideas about how to implement this for now.

Does anyone have a working config with normal secure authentication?
I've just installed Cassandra 1.0.0 and see that SimpleAuthenticate is
meant to be non-secure and was moved to examples. I need a production
config - so I've tried to write this to config:
authenticator: org.apache.cassandra.auth.AuthenticatedUser
authority: org.apache.cassandra.auth.AuthenticatedUser
But during cassandra startup log says:
org.apache.cassandra.config.ConfigurationException: No default
constructor for authenticator class
'org.apache.cassandra.auth.AuthenticatedUser'.
As I understand either AuthenticatedUser is a wrong class or I simply
don't know how to set it up - does it need additional configs similar to
access.properties or passwd.properties? Maybe there's a way to store
users in cassandra DB itself, like, fore example, MySQL does?
I've searched and tried lot of things the whole day but the only info
that I found were two phrases - first told that SimpleAuth is just a
toy and second told to look into source to look for more auth methods.
But, for example, this:
package org.apache.cassandra.auth;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Set;
/**
* An authenticated user and her groups.
*/
public class AuthenticatedUser
{
public final String username;
public final SetString groups;
public AuthenticatedUser(String username)
{
this.username = username;
this.groups = Collections.emptySet();
}
public AuthenticatedUser(String username, SetString groups)
{
this.username = username;
this.groups = Collections.unmodifiableSet(groups);
}
@Override
public String toString()
{
return String.format(#User %s groups=%s, username, groups);
}
}
tells me just about nothing :-(
Best regards

As I understand, the most common production setup for now is disabled
authentication but accepting only localhost. Am I right? Or most common
is SimpleAuthenticate with md5?
