> Idle session timeout for secure environments

> Key: CASSANDRA-11097
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11097
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Legacy/CQL
> Reporter: Jeff Jirsa
> Assignee: Alex Petrov
> Priority: Low
> Labels: lhf, ponies
>
> A thread on the user list pointed out that some use cases may prefer to have
> a database disconnect sessions after some idle timeout. An example would be
> an administrator who connected via ssh+cqlsh and then walked away.
> Disconnecting that user and forcing it to re-authenticate could protect
> against unauthorized access.
> It seems like it may be possible to do this using a netty
> {{IdleStateHandler}} in a way that's low risk and perhaps off by default.
