> Ability to load Cassandra connection secrets from filesystem
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSSIDECAR-407
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSSIDECAR-407
> Project: Sidecar for Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configuration
> Reporter: Michael Burman
> Assignee: Michael Burman
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.4
>
> Time Spent: 2.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> In the current implementation, the only way for a driver to read the
> username/password combination required for CQL connection is to set them in
> the configuration file. This does not work well in environments where such
> information is stored in external systems, be it Kubernetes Secrets, Vaults
> or any similar projects.
> Most of them do support mounting the secrets to a filesystem however and this
> provides a method to access them with approved methods. To make this change
> more generic, the driver_parameters should accept auth_provider with a
> class_name like the other configuration parts which have this type of ability.
> I'm assuming in the future we might want to expose also driver's
> withAuthProvider instead of only withCredentials, but this would make the
> change far more complex (and risky) and might be better implemented in a
> future ticket if the need arises. Sort of like the class_names are all
> required to be in the sidecar at the moment instead of using ClassLoader to
> verify anything in the classpath with the correct interface/annotations.
> To maintain backwards compatibility, if the old parameters are used and new
> ones are not set, we should still support them.
