HI. I followed this:
To set up simple authentication and authorization 1. Edit cassandra.yaml, setting org.apache.cassandra.auth.SimpleAuthenticator as the authenticator value. The default value of AllowAllAuthenticator is equivalent to no authentication. 2. Edit access.properties, adding entries for users and their permissions to read and write to specified keyspaces and column families. See access.properties below for details on the correct format. 3. Make sure that users specified in access.properties have corresponding entries in passwd.properties. See passwd.properties below for details and examples. 4. After making the required configuration changes, you must specify the properties files when starting Cassandra with the flags -Dpasswd.properties and -Daccess.properties. For example: cd $CASSANDRA_HOME sh bin/cassandra -f -Dpasswd.properties=conf/passwd.properties -Daccess.properties=conf/access.properties I started services with additional parameters, but no result, no Log, nothing.... I use datastax 1.0.8 communiti edition on win 7 64 bit Tnxs
