  3. Authenticating with Kerberos

Authenticating a cluster with Kerberos

DataStax Enterprise authentication with Kerberos protocol uses tickets to prove identity for nodes that communicate over non-secure networks.

Note: Also see Use Kerberos authentication for DSE Search in production and Kerberos authentication for Spark.
