TMA-CASSANDRA-3.2

Ensure that the default password is changed for the cassandra role

CritiqueNiveau 1Automatiséecassandra

Description

The cassandra role has a default password which must be changed. Attempts a cqlsh login as cassandra/cassandra against CQLSH_HOST/CQLSH_PORT (default 127.0.0.1:9042); passes only when the server rejects the credentials (a login that succeeds, including with authentication disabled, fails; an unreachable node fails).
