Loading Data into a Remote Kerberos-Enabled Cluster

sstableloader tool (also called bulk loader), loads data from an sstable into a target cluster. When loading data into a remote Kerberos enabled cluster, configure the following JVM options:

When running sstableloader with the local DSE cluster, no additional configuration is required.

To set the keytab location through system properties, use this example as a guide to setting the options:

JVM_OPTS="-Dkerberos.use.keytab=true \
    -Dkerberos.keytab=/home/dse/cassandra.keytab \
    -Dkerberos.client.principal=dse@LOCAL.DEV" \
    resources/cassandra/bin/sstableloader -d 192.168.56.102 /var/lib/cassandra/data/Keyspace1/Standard1

To set Kerberos options using the JAAS config, use this example as a guide to setting the options:

JVM_OPTS="-Dkerberos.use.config.file=true \
    -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/home/dse/keytab-basic-jaas.conf" \
    resources/cassandra/bin/sstableloader -d 192.168.56.102 /var/lib/cassandra/data/Keyspace1/Standard1

In the JAAS config, /home/dse/keytab-basic-jaas.conf, set these options:

Client {
  com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
    useKeyTab=true
    keyTab="/home/dse/cassandra.keytab"
    principal="cassandra@LOCAL.DEV";
};
