Brandon Williams reassigned CASSANDRA-5401: ------------------------------------------- Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko > Pluggable security feature to prevent node from joining a cluster and running > destructive commands > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-5401 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5401 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Config, Core > Affects Versions: 1.1.10 > Environment: Production > Reporter: Ahmed Bashir > Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko > Labels: configuration, security > > It's possible for a node to join an existing cluster (with perhaps more > stringent security restrictions i.e. not using AllowAllAuthentication) and > issue destructive commands that affect the cluster at large (e.g. drop > keyspace via cassandra-cli, etc). > This can be circumvented with a pluggable security module that could be used > to implement basic node vetting/identification/etc. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
