Sumanth Pasupuleti commented on CASSANDRA-16456:
------------------------------------------------
+1 to the idea of adding plugin support that would allow using both an
AuthProvider that is provided within the python C* driver, as well as a custom
AuthProvider one may potentially write.
We currently have an internal minor patch to cqlsh to accommodate our internal
AuthProvider. This ticket would certainly help us not have that minor fork and
rather plugin our custom AuthProvider.

> Currently the Cassandra drivers offer a plugin authenticator architecture for
> the support of different authentication methods. This has been leveraged to
> provide support for LDAP, Kerberos, and Sigv4 authentication. Unfortunately,
> cqlsh, the included CLI tool, does not offer such support. Switching to a new
> enhanced authentication scheme thus means being cut off from using cqlsh in
> normal operation.
> We should have a means of using the same plugins and authentication providers
> as the Python Cassandra driver.
