Thanks Jeff for your reply, yes i agree with what you said but the problem is --- i am trying this in lower environment which had this system_auth already created so when i alter keyspace to network topology and enabling authentication its working great and easy but in prod we don't have system_auth to alter yet which i am expecting may cause trouble, so to level the field and start form scratch i am trying to get rid of system_auth which i couldn't.
I am trying to enable authentication with zero downtime i am doing it on apache 2.1 http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/security.html#authentication Thanks Pranay.
