Hi Cassandra Dev team, I was using Cassandra's bulk loading tool on a simple auth based setup. I found out that we need to pass *"-u and -pw" *parameters on Auth enabled Casandra setup. If I use the command using these parameters then if someone (any user with login access to Cassandra host machine) does *"ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -E 'sstableloader'" *on Cassandra host machine other then Cassandra admin, then that user can see creds of the Cassandra user in plain text.
I saw a similar issue while using the cqlsh and nodetool utility but there I found *"--cqlshrc and -pwf" *options where we can pass ACL based file and creds are not directly visible in ps command. *I am not able to find any such option with the Sstableloader utility. Can you suggest to me anyway by which I can pass Cassandra creds and those are not visible over the ps command? I am looking for a solution on Cassandra 3.11.9 or 3.x in general.* Regards Radha Wadhera
