Authentication with cqlsh
Now that we've enabled authentication on our development cluster, we will need to recon-
nect our cqlsh session with a username and password. By default, Cassandra has a super-
user account whose username and password are both
cassandra
, so we can use that:
$ cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra
In a production cluster, of course, we would not want to have a superuser account with
such an easily guessable password; however, for our purposes, this will work fine.
