> Failures when setting up auth/authz in Cassandra show be more made more clear.
> Issues noticed are:
> * When configuring `PasswordAuthenticator` with a custom IRoleManager implementation, the message will report "CassandraRoleManager must be used with PasswordAuthenticator". "CassandraRoleManager" can be used with any `IAuthenticator` implementation. The issue here is that `PasswordAuthenticator` requires using `CassandraRoleManager` because it has an implicit dependency on how passwords are created by it.
> * If we're configuring `MutualTlsWithPasswordFallbackAuthenticator` with another `IRoleManager` implementation we'll see a message that we're using `PasswordAuthenticator` which is incorrect.
> * When enabling authorization without enabling authentication, error message just says that "[IAuhtenticator] can't be used with [IAuthorizer]" without explaining why
> * Exceptions thrown when instantiating auth* classes are swallowed preventing users to understand what the issue was.
