Thanks much From: Tyler Hobbs [mailto:ty...@datastax.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 3:49 PM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: Question regarding thrift login api and relation to access.properties and passwd.properties 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.

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 are related to 1.1.3.
