TMA-CASSANDRA-2.1

Ensure that authentication is enabled for Cassandra databases

CríticaNivel 1Automatizadacassandra

Descripción

Authentication is pluggable in Cassandra and is configured using the authenticator setting in cassandra.yaml. Cassandra ships with two options included in the default distribution, AllowAllAuthenticator and PasswordAuthenticator. The default, AllowAllAuthenticator, performs no authentication checks and therefore requires no credentials. It is used to disable authentication completely. Checks /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml (package install; SKIP when it does not exist).

Cómo se corrige

Método de corrección: Guía o parche de infraestructura

Set 'authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator' in cassandra.yaml, raise system_auth replication (NetworkTopologyStrategy, RF 3 per DC), rolling-restart the nodes and create a new superuser.
