Jon Meredith commented on CASSANDRA-16666:
------------------------------------------
I've added another round of feedback, I'm happy to start running some CI builds
once I get a chance to work out how the \{{cassandra-ci}} setup works as well
as CircleCI if that's what you meant [~stefan.miklosovic].
I was also hoping to find some time to test an implementations that makes the
trust manager to do some kind of mTLS checks on the remote servers certificate
before allowing but I haven't got to it yet.

>
> Currently Cassandra creates the SSLContext via SSLFactory.java. SSLFactory is
> a final class with static methods and not overridable. The SSLFactory loads
> the keys and certs from the file based artifacts for the same. While this
> works for many, in the industry where security is stricter and contextual,
> this approach falls short. Many big organizations need flexibility to load
> the SSL artifacts from a custom resource (like custom Key Management
> Solution, HashiCorp Vault, Amazon KMS etc). While JSSE SecurityProvider
> architecture allows us flexibility to build our custom mechanisms to validate
> and process security artifacts, many times all we need is to build upon
> Java's existing extensibility that Trust/Key Manager interfaces provide to
> load keystores from various resources in the absence of any customized
> requirements on the Keys/Certificate formats.
> My proposal here is to make the SSLContext creation pluggable/extensible and
> have the current SSLFactory.java implement an extensible interface.
> I contributed a similar change that is live now in Apache Kafka (2.6.0) -
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8890
> I can spare some time writing the pluggable interface and run by the required
> reviewers.
