 to use those classes. See the two configuration files access.properties and
 passwd.properties to configure the authorized users and permissions.
 
+When starting cassandra, you need to specify the location of the passwd.properties
+and access.properties files by adding JVM args similar to the following either
+in cassandra-env.sh or as commandline arguments:
+
+    -Dpasswd.properties=conf/passwd.properties
