[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7212) Allow to switch user within CQLSH session

["Tyler Hobbs (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7212?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14540142#comment-14540142 ] 

Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-7212:
----------------------------------------

The patch also needs to update {{self.auth_provider}} when the username and password change, otherwise {{COPY}} will not work.

Also, can you write some dtests for this?

> Once a user is logged into CQLSH, it is not possible to switch to another user  without exiting and relaunch
> This is a feature offered in postgres and probably other databases:

> Perhaps this could be implemented on CQLSH as part of the "USE" directive:
> USE <Keyspace> [USER] [password]
