Authentication

Clients that require authentication when connecting to a secured DSE cluster (using com.datastax.bdp.cassandra.auth.DseAuthenticator) should use the following functions:

  • Plain-text authentication: cass_cluster_set_dse_plaintext_authenticator()
  • GSSAPI authentication: cass_cluster_set_dse_gssapi_authenticator()
/* A DSE cluster using plain-text authentication would use: */
cass_cluster_set_dse_plaintext_authenticator(cluster, "cassandra", "cassandra");

/* A DSE cluster using GSSAPI authentication would use: */
cass_cluster_set_dse_gssapi_authenticator(cluster, "dse", "cassandra@DATASTAX.COM");
