Interface IAuthenticator
Handles SASL authentication with Cassandra servers. A server which requires
authentication responds to a startup message with an challenge in the form of
an AuthenticateMessage. Authenticator implementations should be
able to respond to that challenge and perform whatever authentication
negotiation is required by the server. The exact nature of that negotiation
is specific to the configuration of the server.
