Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-6279.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> command-line tool shouldn't require password
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6279
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6279
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> 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.
