> CEP-24 - Password validation/generation
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-17457
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17457
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Feature/Authorization
> Reporter: Berenguer Blasi
> Assignee: Stefan Miklosovic
> Priority: Normal
> Labels: low-hanging-fruit
> Fix For: 5.x
>
>
> Currently we can create a user with a very insecure password such as 'A'.
> _CREATE ROLE coach WITH PASSWORD = 'A' AND LOGIN = true;_
>
> As we can see there are no restrictions on length, characters, etc We should
> discuss and adopt some best practices in this area. A warning would be the
> preference instead of erroring out. Historically this has been left to be
> dealt by LDAP or other auth systems so we can't error out.
> Newcomers:
> - We should add warnings when a weak password is provided on DCL CQL. The
> {{validate}} method looks like a good place at face value. Fell free to
> analyze and suggest otherwise. See {{ClientWarn}} usages for examples.
> - We should add junit methods for the newly created warnings
