Peter Halliday created CASSANDRA-6279:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: command-line tool shouldn't require password
Key: CASSANDRA-6279
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6279
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Peter Halliday
Priority: Minor
If you use nodetool and cassandra-cli, and have Thrift authentication, then you
are required to pass in the password on the command-line. This is a potential
security issue. For those that choose to do so, that's fine. However,
ideally, there would be a method of not doing that, which would prompt you to
enter a password. Understanding that no method is complete "secure", this
would be certainly more so.
