We're trying to configure a 2-node cluster with non-default credentials. Here's what I've been doing so far based on my understanding of the documentation. The platform is RHEL 7: 1. Use an RPM I found with Datastax to perform a basic cassandra installation. 2. Change the temporary directory in cassandra-env.sh, because nobody is allowed to execute anything in /tmp. 3. In cassandra.yaml, - change the cluster_name - empty the listen_address entry - define both VMs as seeds 4. Open port 7000 in the firewall. 5. Start cassandra. 6. In the cassandra.yaml, change to PasswordAuthenticator. 7. Run cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra -e "ALTER KEYSPACE system_auth WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 2 };" 8. Restart cassandra 9. Perform 1-8 on the second node 10. To create a new user, run cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra -e "CREATE USER ${CASSANDRA_USERNAME} WITH PASSWORD '${CASSANDRA_PASSWORD}' SUPERUSER;" Step 10 fails with this error: Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1': AuthenticationFailed(u'Failed to authenticate to 127.0.0.1: code=0100 [Bad credentials] message="org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.UnavailableException: Cannot achieve consistency level QUORUM"',)}) What am I missing?
