Hi Anand, Yes you should change the replication factor of the system_auth keyspace. By default it is RF = 1 and it s very dangerous in production. If you loose one node an user can loose all access.(it is a SPOF) You should use a multi DC replication for this keyspace. Regards, Julien 2014-04

Cassandra Client authentication and system table replication question

2014-04-29 Thread Anand Somani
Hi We have enabled cassandra client authentication and have set new user/pass per keyspace. As I understand user/pass is stored in the system table, do we need to change the replication factor of the system table so this data is replicated? The cluster is going to be multi-dc. Thanks Anand
