Hi, We are trying out Custom Authentication (with Database) with Cassandra, by implementing IAuthenticator interface. We are storing the following details in a properties file and passing the location of the properties file as a startup parameter to Cassandra
1. DB URL 2. DB User Name 3. DB Password 4. JDBC Driver class 5. Table name containing the userid,password. When a user logs in, we are validating against the data stored in the database. Currently we are storing the userid/password in the database in plain text. We are facing one issue with this approach, ie, we are not able to restrict the access for user with blank user name and password (default user). If one logs into the client (Cassandra Cli) without a userid or password, an exception is thrown, but login happens into the shell as default@unknown. Is there a way to restrict this ? or this is the expected behavior ? Thanks in Advance.
