Sam Tunnicliffe commented on CASSANDRA-8068:
--------------------------------------------
Would the {{InetAddress}} of the client attempting authentication be sufficient
for the negotiator? QueryState & ClientState both also provide access to a
bunch of things that an IAuthenticator probably has no business with: the
tracing-related methods, login, authz functions etc.
> Allow to create authenticator which is aware of the client connection

> Currently, the authenticator interface doesn't allow to make a decision
> according to the client connection properties (especially the client host
> name or address).
> The idea is to add the interface which extends the current SASL aware
> authenticator interface with additional method to set the client connection.
> ServerConnection then could supply the connection to the authenticator if the
> authenticator implements that interface.
