Authentication scheme resources
Syntax for authorizing roles for an authentication scheme.
dse.yaml
The location of the dse.yaml file depends on the type of installation:Package installations | /etc/dse/dse.yaml |
Tarball installations | installation_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml |
When using multiple authentication schemes, there can be overlap between users and groups. For example, an internal login role admin and an LDAP group admin. For each role, you can bind the role to an authentication scheme preventing roles from being assigned to the wrong users.
Schemes hierarchy:


Synopsis

- LDAP SCHEME | KERBEROS SCHEME | INTERNAL SCHEME

scheme:
GRANT EXECUTE ON (LDAP SCHEME | KERBEROS SCHEME | INTERNAL SCHEME) TO role_name;
