Even though it is highly unlikely to have a whitespace character in the password, it is currently allowed (tested manually on version 3.11.10): ``` # create a user with a password that contains spaces $ ./bin/cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra cassandra@cqlsh> CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = 'PASSWORD WITH SPACES' AND SUPERUSER = true AND LOGIN = true; cassandra@cqlsh> exit # login using such a password $ ./bin/cqlsh -u alice -p "PASSWORD WITH SPACES" cassandra@cqlsh> exit ``` I have not found any documentation that clearly explains what characters are allowed in passwords. My current assumption is that all characters are allowed (including control and whitespace characters). I doubt that someone really uses control characters, but whitespace character seems to be possible. I'd consider the following pattern `(?<password>.*)` - everything including whitespace characters and the empty password (see below). It turned out that empty password is also allowed to set: ``` # create a user with empty password $ ./bin/cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra cassandra@cqlsh> CREATE ROLE bob WITH PASSWORD = '' AND SUPERUSER = true AND LOGIN = true; ``` Despite I was unable to login through `cqlsh`: ``` $ ./bin/cqlsh -u bob -p "" Password: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/azotov/opt/apache-cassandra-3.11.10/bin/cqlsh.py", line 2458, in <module> main(*read_options(sys.argv[1:], os.environ)) File "/home/azotov/opt/apache-cassandra-3.11.10/bin/cqlsh.py", line 2436, in main encoding=options.encoding) File "/home/azotov/opt/apache-cassandra-3.11.10/bin/cqlsh.py", line 466, in __init__ password = getpass.getpass() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/getpass.py", line 71, in unix_getpass passwd = _raw_input(prompt, stream, input=input) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/getpass.py", line 135, in _raw_input raise EOFError EOFError ``` I feel it is related to the logic in Python wrapper rather than to a protocol limit. So I bet I'd be able to login using a Java client. Assuming it is possible to set and login with the empty password, we also need to obfuscate it. Both use cases seem to be corner cases (pretty rare and weird), but I believe we need to handle them properly.
