Kathiresan Selvaraj updated CASSANDRA-6928:
-------------------------------------------
Description: While using LDAP server for authentication by implemting
Cassandra's IAuthenticator, authenticate() is invoked. After this, login()
method of org.apache.cassandra.service.ClientState is invoked from login
method in CassandraServer.java. This checks for the user names presence in
'system_auth.users' table which defeats the purpose of custom authentication.
Now i need to add users to the system_auth.users table as well to complete the
authentication. Please advice. (was: When a custom authenticator (implementing
org.apache.cassandra.auth.IAuthenticator) is used, We authenticate the username
and password connecting to an LDAP server. But, after the the custom
authenticator's authenticate method is invoked, the login(AuthenticatedUser
user) method of org.apache.cassandra.service.ClientState is invoked from
CassandraServer's login method (i.e. state().login(user);). This checks for the
user names presence in 'system_auth.users' table which defeats the purpose of
custom authentication. Now i need to add users to the system_auth.users table
as well to complete the authentication. Please advice.)
