Bowen Song commented on CASSANDRA-16456:
----------------------------------------
[~smiklosovic] I just want to point out that AFAIK INI file section names are
not always case sensitive. It's an implementation defined behaviour.
"[PlainTextAuthProvider]" could be treated the same as
"[plaintextauthprovider]".
Also, if we decide to rename the "plain_text_auth" to "plaintextauthprovider"
or "PlainTextAuthProvider", we may need to provide backward compatibility.

> Currently the Cassandra drivers offer a plugin authenticator architecture for
> the support of different authentication methods. This has been leveraged to
> provide support for LDAP, Kerberos, and Sigv4 authentication. Unfortunately,
> cqlsh, the included CLI tool, does not offer such support. Switching to a new
> enhanced authentication scheme thus means being cut off from using cqlsh in
> normal operation.
> We should have a means of using the same plugins and authentication providers
> as the Python Cassandra driver.
