Hello :-)
Does anyone have a working config with normal secure authentication?
I've just installed Cassandra 1.0.0 and see that SimpleAuthenticate is
meant to be non-secure and was moved to examples. I need a production
config - so I've tried to write this to config:
------------
authenticator: org.apache.cassandra.auth.AuthenticatedUser
authority: org.apache.cassandra.auth.AuthenticatedUser
------------
But during cassandra startup log says:
------------
org.apache.cassandra.config.ConfigurationException: No default
constructor for authenticator class
'org.apache.cassandra.auth.AuthenticatedUser'.
------------
As I understand either AuthenticatedUser is a wrong class or I simply
don't know how to set it up - does it need additional configs similar to
access.properties or passwd.properties? Maybe there's a way to store
users in cassandra DB itself, like, fore example, MySQL does?
I've searched and tried lot of things the whole day but the only info
that I found were two phrases - first told that SimpleAuth is just a
toy and second told to look into source to look for more auth methods.
But, for example, this:
------------
package org.apache.cassandra.auth;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Set;
/**
* An authenticated user and her groups.
*/
public class AuthenticatedUser
{
public final String username;
public final Set<String> groups;
public AuthenticatedUser(String username)
{
this.username = username;
this.groups = Collections.emptySet();
}
public AuthenticatedUser(String username, Set<String> groups)
{
this.username = username;
this.groups = Collections.unmodifiableSet(groups);
}
@Override
public String toString()
{
return String.format("#<User %s groups=%s>", username, groups);
}
}
------------
tells me just about nothing :-(
Best regards
Alexander
