How to create user in scylladb 1.6?

[alexandr.porunov@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am trying to create a new user in scylladb but without success.

Here is what I get:

cqlsh> CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS salt WITH PASSWORD 'salt' NOSUPERUSER;

InvalidRequest: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="org.apache.cassandra.auth.AllowAllAuthenticator doesn't support PASSWORD option"

Is it possible to create user with password?

Sincerely,

Alexandr

Yes, it is. You just need to set the "authenticator" configuration
option to "PasswordAuthenticator" in the scylla.yaml file:

https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/blob/master/conf/scylla.yaml#L206

Tzach, I suppose security configuration deserves a section in the
admin guide or the Scylla procedures page?

Found a solution. I need to use next parameter:

authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator
