Aleksey Yeschenko resolved CASSANDRA-6928.
------------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
It doesn't defeat the purpose of custom authentication, it still lets you
define how the actual authentication is supposed to happen. Requiring a CREATE
USER for every user, even with a custom authenticator, was an intentional
design decision, and is also how RDBMSs like PostrgreSQL and Oracle do things.
> Custom Authenticator using LDAP
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6928
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6928
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Kathiresan Selvaraj
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
