Re: Does Open-Source Cassandra 4 support mutual-TLS ?

Thanks Dinesh. That is ok. Having mutual TLS ensures that the clients authenticate themselves by certificates too. The other authentication of static username/password adds the next layer of authentication. That ways a hacker now needs two keys (certificate and password) to connect to the cluster.

It sort of supports it. You still need to send in the username/password credentials along with the client certificate to authenticate. Cassandra will not derive the identity purely from the client certificate. Dinesh > On Sep 21, 2021, at 11:59 AM, S G wrote: > > Hello, > > Does anyone know
