About client connections

After enabling DataStax Unified Authentication you must provide credentials in connection requests.

Upgrading to DSE Unified Authentication usually requires rebuilding applications with the latest driver, which allow scheme selection. DataStax Enterprise drivers support all features of the Cassandra drivers.

DataStax supports authentication on connections from the following clients:

  • Astyanax

  • cqlsh

  • Drivers

  • Hector

  • pycassa

  • JMX, nodetool and JConsole
