Subject: Re: Question regarding thrift login api and relation to
access.properties and passwd.properties
access.properties and passwd.properties are
The datastax documentation concisely describes how to configure and
assure that the properties are used in client access. Question is this:
if using the thrift api login, does C* use the Authentication class to
determine access privileges based on the access/passwd properties?
These questions
access.properties and passwd.properties are only used by the example
implementations, SimpleAuthenticator and SimpleAuthority. Your own
implementation (which requires a custom class) certainly does not have to
use these, it can use any other source to make the authn/authz decision.
