             Summary: Connection without username not logged in auditlog 
                 Key: CASSANDRA-18420
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18420
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Tool/auditlogging
            Reporter: Yakir Gibraltar


Hi,
If making connection *without username* to cassandra cluster with 
PasswordAuthenticator enabled, 
Connection will fail but not logged on auditlog.

How to reproduce:
 # Enable "authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator" on cluster
 # Enable audit : "nodetool enableauditlog"
 # Open a new screen and run "auditlogviewer -f <log_location>/audit/"
 # Try to connect, and connection will fail:
{code:java}
[root@c1 ~]# cqlsh
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1:9042': 
AuthenticationFailed('Remote end requires authentication',)}){code}

 # *But nothing in auditlogviewer*

 

How it's affecting:
 # Security reason, hard to find unauthorized connection .
 # When migrating cluster into PasswordAuthenticator, hard to find applications 
that didn't add username/password. 

Thank you.
