Fix Version/s: (was: 2.2.x)
2.2.2
> Missing role manager in cassandra.yaml causes unexpected behaviour
> ------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-10209
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10209
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sam Tunnicliffe
> Assignee: Sam Tunnicliffe
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.0 rc1, 2.2.2
>
>
> On upgrading to 2.2+, if the new {{role_manager}} option is not added to
> {{cassandra.yaml}}, an instance of the default {{CassandraRoleManager}} is
> created during initialization of {{DatabaseDescriptor}}. This is a problem as
> the set of role options supported by {{CRM}} depends on the configured
> {{IAuthenticator}}, which at that point in time is always
> {{AllowAllAuthenticator}}.
> This StackOverflow post describes the problem; the configured authenticator
> is {{PasswordAuthenticator}}, the role manager should allow roles to be
> created using the {{PASSWORD}} option, but it does not.
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31820914/in-cassandra-2-2-unable-to-create-role-containing-password
> The simple workaround is to ensure that yaml contains the role manager option
> {code}
> role_manager: CassandraRoleManager
> {code}
