T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-10091:
--------------------------------------------
This is a serious improvement over the current JMX.
Looking at the code I have a couple comments:
CassandraLoginModule:
* All the cleanup code is duplicated for logout/abort/login/etc. please
centralize.
JxmServerUtils:
* We should be using the broadcast interface for this vs 0.0.0.0
I also got this error at one point.

The ability to grant permissions on individual beans is really awesome, I
tested this and it worked great.
What kind of dtests can we add for this? Can you kick the tests off once you
address the above and update NEWS.txt?
> Integrated JMX authn & authz

> Key: CASSANDRA-10091
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10091
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jan Karlsson
> Assignee: Sam Tunnicliffe
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> It would be useful to authenticate with JMX through Cassandra's internal
> authentication. This would reduce the overhead of keeping passwords in files
> on the machine and would consolidate passwords to one location. It would also
> allow the possibility to handle JMX permissions in Cassandra.
> It could be done by creating our own JMX server and setting custom classes
> for the authenticator and authorizer. We could then add some parameters where
> the user could specify what authenticator and authorizer to use in case they
> want to make their own.
> This could also be done by creating a premain method which creates a jmx
> server. This would give us the feature without changing the Cassandra code
> itself. However I believe this would be a good feature to have in Cassandra.
> I am currently working on a solution which creates a JMX server and uses a
> custom authenticator and authorizer. It is currently build as a premain,
> however it would be great if we could put this in Cassandra instead.
