--------------------------------------
Summary: cassandra authentication failure 1.2.11
Key: CASSANDRA-7424
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7424
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Environment: linux 2.6.18-371.6.1.el5 x86_64, cassandra 1.2.11. 6 Node
cluster, 3 in DC1 and 3 in DC2.
Reporter: Paul Makkar
I am having issues enabling authentication. On my 6 node cluster, I took one
node and followed the instruction in the cassandra 1.2 guide, i.e. set
authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator in the cassandra.yaml and restart
cassandra. However, when I restart cassandra and try logging in, it hangs for a
few seconds followed by the following error message:
cassandra-cli -username cassandra -password cassandra
Exception during authentication to the cassandra node, Verify the keyspace
exists, and that you are using the correct credentials.
The system_auth keyspace does exist:
$ find system_auth/
system_auth/
system_auth/users
system_auth/credentials
system_auth/permissions
I then tried setting the authoriser in the cassandra.yaml:
authorizer: org.apache.cassandra.auth.CassandraAuthorizer
But I get the same error.
Then I disabled authentication and increased the replication factor of
system_auth keyspace:
update keyspace system_auth with placement_strategy = 'NetworkTopologyStrategy'
and strategy_options = {DC1 : 3, DC2 : 3} and durable_writes = true;
I reenabled authentication, but get the same error.
I then shutdown cassandra and deleted the system, system_auth, system_traces
data directories and restarted. I get the same error.
Trying to log on with the cqlsh client gives this error:
cql.cassandra.ttypes.AuthenticationException:
AuthenticationException(why='org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.ReadTimeoutException:
Operation timed out - received only 1 responses.')
Can any advise what is going wrong here?
Thanks in advance.
