Sam Tunnicliffe resolved CASSANDRA-8068.
----------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

The IAuthenticator interface is already quite significantly changed by CASSANDRA-7653 and as there doesn't seem to be a really compelling use case for this, closing it as wontfix. Feel free to re-open if there's a genuine requirement.

> Currently, the authenticator interface doesn't allow to make a decision according to the client connection properties (especially the client host name or address). 
> The idea is to add the interface which extends the current SASL aware authenticator interface with additional method to set the client connection. ServerConnection then could supply the connection to the authenticator if the authenticator implements that interface.
