-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Authentication is broken for the protocol v1 on C* 2.0
                 Key: CASSANDRA-6233
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6233
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
             Fix For: 2.0.3


CASSANDRA-5664 simplified the decoding method of CredentialsMessage by using 
CBUtil.readStringMap (instead of duplicating the code). Unfortunately, that 
latter method turns his keys to uppercase (to provide some form of case 
insensitivity for keys), and in the case of CredentialsMessage this breaks 
PasswordAuthenticator that expect lowercased keys (besides, it's a bad idea to 
mess up with the case of the credentials map in general).

Making CBUtil.readStringMap uppercase keys was probably a bad idea in the first 
place (as nothing in the method name imply this), so attaching patch that 
remove this (and uppercase keys specifically in StartupMessage where that was 
done on purpose).
