In-Depth Information
NOTE
In 0.6, there was no login operation provided by the Thrift API, so if you've gotten used to starting the
CLI and then connecting in a separate operation, that won't work if you are requiring authentication. A
login operation was added in 0.7.
NOTE
In 0.7, authenticators have been split into an
IAuthenticator
(which handles authentication) and
IAuthority
(which handles authorization). The
SimpleAuthenticator
class has had authorization
split out into
SimpleAuthority
.
SimpleAuthenticator
reads only passwd.properties, and
Sim-
pleAuthority
reads only access.properties.
Programmatic Authentication
If you have set up authentication on your keyspace, your client application code will need to log
in. You can use
Example 6-2
as a guide.
