   I'm running a cassandra cluster with authentication enabled (authenticator: org.apache.cassandra.auth.SimpleAuthenticator).

   If I disable authentication in cassandra (switching to org.apache.cassandra.auth.AllowAllAuthenticator) OpsCenter works fine.

   If authentication is enabled OpsCenter can't connect to the cluster:

   From the logs (DEBUG):

   Traceback (most recent call last):
   Failure: telephus.cassandra.c08.ttypes.InvalidRequestException: InvalidRequestException(why='You have not logged in')

   My question is:
   Does OpsCenter support cluster with authentication enabled ?
   I didn't found traces of that in opscenterd.conf.
   If yes, where can be configured ?

   many thanks.

   You can enable authentication with SimpleAuthenticator by adding the following lines the '[cassandra]' section of opscenterd.conf:

   'username = <username>'
   'password = <password>'

   Is it possible to specify authentication even for the JMX connection?
   Where do I find a complete documentation for the opscenterd.conf?

   Yes you can specify authentication for the jmx connection that the agents use by setting those same settings under the '[jmx]' section of opscenterd.conf.

   Unfortunately right now there is not complete documentation for opscenterd.conf, I will make a note that some of these items need to be documented more clearly.

   Is it possible to have OpsCenter pass additional credentials - to support an Authenticator other than SimpleAuthenticator?

   At this time, it's not possible to supply credentials in a different format. I've opened a ticket to allow an arbitrary set of key-value pairs to be used for the Thrift credentials. Would that work for you?

   Yes, that would work, but it's not urgent. Thanks.
