Doug Rohrer commented on CASSANDRA-18508:
-----------------------------------------
Ah right... so there's a bug in trunk right now that may be causing this... can
you try changing the version of the in-jvm dtest api (in
{{parent-pom-template.xml}} to {{0.0.17-71f854c-SNAPSHOT}} locally and see if
trunk / your branch can make 50 loops? (For context, see CASSANDRA-19239)
> Sensitive JMX SSL configuration options can be easily exposed

> Key: CASSANDRA-18508
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18508
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Feature/Encryption, Local/Config
> Reporter: Anthony Grasso

> We need a way to specify sensitive JMX SSL configuration options to avoid
> them being easily exposed.
> When encrypting the JMX connection the passwords for the key and trust stores
> must be specified using the {{javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword}} and
> {{javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword}} options respectively in the
> _cassandra-env.sh_ file. After Cassandra is started it is possible to see the
> passwords by looking the running process ({{ps aux | grep "cassandra"}}).
> Java 8 has the ability to specify a configuration file that can contain these
> security sensitive settings using the {{com.sun.management.config.file}}
> argument. However, despite what the documentation
> ([https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html#gdevf])
> says, both the {{com.sun.management.jmxremote}} and
> {{com.sun.management.jmxremote.port}} arguments need to be defined in the
> _cassandra-env.sh_ for the JVM to read the contents of the file.
> The problem with defining the {{com.sun.management.jmxremote.port}} argument
> is it conflicts with the {{cassandra.jmx.remote.port}} argument. Even if the
> port numbers are different, attempting an encrypted JMX connection using
> {{nodetool}} fails and we see a {{ConnectException: 'Connection refused
> (Connection refused)'}} error.
> One possible way to fix this is to introduce a new option that would allow a
> file to be passed containing the JMX encryption options.
