>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Core
>         Environment: linux 2.6.18-371.6.1.el5 x86_64, cassandra 1.2.11. 6 Node cluster, 3 in DC1 and 3 in DC2.

> I am having issues enabling authentication. On my 6 node cluster, I took one node and followed the instruction in the cassandra 1.2 guide, i.e. set authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator in the cassandra.yaml and restart cassandra. However, when I restart cassandra and try logging in, it hangs for a few seconds followed by the following  error message:
> cassandra-cli -username cassandra -password cassandra
> Exception during authentication to the cassandra node, Verify the keyspace exists, and that you are using the correct credentials.
> The system_auth keyspace does exist:
> $ find system_auth/
> system_auth/
> system_auth/users
> system_auth/credentials
> system_auth/permissions
> I then tried setting the authoriser in the cassandra.yaml:
> authorizer: org.apache.cassandra.auth.CassandraAuthorizer
> But I get the same error. 
> Then I disabled authentication and increased the replication factor of system_auth keyspace:
> update keyspace system_auth with placement_strategy = 'NetworkTopologyStrategy' and strategy_options = {DC1 : 3, DC2 : 3} and durable_writes = true;
> I reenabled authentication, but get the same error.
> I then shutdown cassandra and deleted the system, system_auth, system_traces data directories and restarted. I get the same error.
> Trying to log on with the cqlsh client gives this error:
> cql.cassandra.ttypes.AuthenticationException: AuthenticationException(why='org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.ReadTimeoutException: Operation timed out - received only 1 responses.')
> Can any advise what is going wrong here? 
> Thanks in advance.
