Dmitrii Saprykin updated CASSANDRA-9972: ---------------------------------------- Attachment: (was: trunk-6660-v2.patch) > Make node tool command take a password file (2.0.x) > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-9972 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9972 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Dmitrii Saprykin > Assignee: Clément Lardeur > Priority: Trivial > Labels: nodetool > Attachments: cassandra-2.0-6660.patch > > > We are sending the jmx password in the clear to the node tool command in > production. This is a security risk. Any one doing a 'ps' can see the clear > password. Can we change the node tool command to also take a password file > argument. This file will list the JMX user and passwords. Example below: > cat /cassandra/run/10003004.jmxpasswd > monitorRole abc > controlRole def > Based on the user name provided, node tool can pick up the right password. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
