abstractclass Cassandra::Auth::Provider
An auth provider is a factory for authenticator
instances (or objects matching that interface). Its #create_authenticator will
be called once for each connection that requires authentication.
If the authentication requires keeping state, keep that in the authenticator instances, not in the auth provider.
- Abstract
- Auth providers given to
Cassandra.clusterdon’t need to be subclasses of this class, but need to implement the same methods. This class exists only for documentation purposes. - Note
- Creating an authenticator must absolutely not block, or the whole connection process will block.
