authenticate to remote cassandra server from virgil

[vutukuruv...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to my remote cassandra server from virgil.

Though virgil doesnt show any exceptions while starting up, when I try to access the rest API (ex: http://localhost:8080/virgil/data/playground1/), it gives"You have not logged in" response.

I think this is because I did not provide username and password of the cassandra database while starting virgil.

Can you please let me know if we have a way to do this.

thanks in advance.

I could figure this out.

In the com.hmsonline.virgil.pool.VirgilConnection class, we have to add the following code:

 //added by vamshi

          AuthenticationRequest authRequest = new AuthenticationRequest();

Map<String, String> credentials = new HashMap<String, String>();

credentials.put("username", "cassandra");

credentials.put("password", "cassandra");

authRequest.setCredentials(credentials);

try {

if (this.connection != null)

this.connection.login(authRequest);

} catch (AuthenticationException e2) {

System.out.println("unable to login" +e2);

throw new TTransportException("Could not log in: " + e2, e2);

} catch (AuthorizationException e2) {

System.out.println("unable to login" +e2);

throw new TTransportException("Could not log in: " + e2, e2);

} catch (TException e2) {

System.out.println("unable to login" +e2);

throw new TTransportException("Could not log in: " + e2, e2);

}
