Joel Knighton commented on CASSANDRA-11381:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks for the patches [~michaelsembwever] and apologies for the delay again. 
This is at the top of my queue now, so I can work on getting this in quickly.

I can confirm that this is a genuine issue - a few thoughts on the patches:
* Is there a reason that we only setup auth in {{StorageService.initServer}} if 
the saved tokens aren't empty? This doesn't handle the case when a node starts 
with join_ring false on its first boot (a coordinator-only node). This can be 
reproduced with a small variant of your dtest in which we do not start node3 in 
the initial preparation. Some experimentation on my end suggests this would be 
fine.
* On a similar note, is there a reason we can't just move auth setup slightly 
earlier in {{StorageService.initServer()}}? If we moved it before the check of 
the join_ring property, we could do without the idempotency parts of the 
patches. Again, this looks workable in my experimentation.
* Was there any method by which you arrived at the 300 second timeouts for the 
cql connection on the dtests? This really drags the test on in failing cases, 
and I was able to reduce it to 30 seconds without any false negatives.
* Tests handling the coordinator-only case and using JMX to join the node to 
the ring would be great. I think a minimal parameterized test could handle 
these all these permutations.
