Blake Eggleston commented on CASSANDRA-11040:
---------------------------------------------
Everything looks good functionally, although the yaml defaults/docs could be
improved a bit.
# AES is a good default, but it's not the only cipher supported by java, so I'd
remove the second sentence from the first paragraph. I was able to startup with
RC2, and DES and Blowfish should work fine as well.
# Although you *should* use the unlimited JCE policy if possible, everything
will work fine without it. I'd reword the second paragraph to strongly
recommend, but not require it.
# Could we make the default key alias and keystore location something not test
related?
# The comment about CBC requiring a 16 byte IV applies to AES, but not all
ciphers.
Also, could you post the cassci job results?
