Error of "You have to be logged in and not anonymous to perform this request"

Hi
I can't do any actions even with the superuser "cassandra".

cassandra@cqlsh> list roles;
Unauthorized: Error from server: code=2100 [Unauthorized] message="You have
to be logged in and not anonymous to perform this request"

cassandra@cqlsh> CREATE USER dba WITH PASSWORD 'bacon' SUPERUSER;
Unauthorized: Error from server: code=2100 [Unauthorized] message="Only
superusers can create a role with superuser status"

cassandra.yaml is configed as:

authenticator: AllowAllAuthenticator

Thanks.
Good to know that. But that's a little confusing for first time using
Cassandra.

These commands don’t really mean anything unless you’re using authentication.  If you want to enable roles / authentication / etc, then follow the instructions in the manual:

http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/security.html#authentication <http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/security.html#authentication>

… or if you don’t want to use user authentication, then I wouldn’t worry about creating users / messing around with roles for the authentication system you don’t want to use.  :-)
