PasswordAuthenticator

[Michael Hanl <ha...@ids-mannheim.de>]

Hello,

Based on several examples online I was trying to use the 
PasswordAuthenticator on our project nodes.
Although setting it up with the version 1.2.5 of cassandra was not that 
difficult, I cannot seem to get access neither in cqlsh nor in the CLI. 
Having a look at the filesystem and the schema tables (nodetool) that 
the respective column families have been created with the startup of 
cassandra, but there is no default user, which of course I need to setup 
my own users.

I tried several repairs with the nodetool already, but obviously when 
there are no data in the column family, repair is kind of useless.

I hope someone has an idea (besides writing my own authentiction 
interface implementation).


Kind regards,

Michael Hanl

Don't you have a default "cassandra" user in system_auth.users?

cqlsh> SELECT * from system_auth.users ;

  name      | super
-----------+-------
  cassandra |  True

It should be created on startup and you should see this in your logs:

"PasswordAuthenticator created default user cassandra"

However, if it fails, you should see this:

"Skipped default superuser setup: some nodes were not ready"

Do you have any of these messages in your log?
