datastax authorizer exception

I'm getting an exception while trying to grant permissions for a created role.

Command:

GRANT ALL PERMISSIONS on KEYSPACE test_ks to ks_admin;

Error:

ServerError: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: GRANT operation is not supported by the DseAuthorizer if it is not enabled

Actions Performed:

i have updated the cassandra.yaml file to change the authorizer from default to "com.datastax.bdp.cassandra.auth.CassandraAuthorizer" but got an exception when restarted the dse service.

Exception from system log:

An exception was caught and reported. Message: Unable to find authorizer class 'com.datastax.bdp.cassandra.auth.CassandraAuthorizer' at com.datastax.bdp.DseModule.configure(Unknown Source)

Could someone please let me know what i'm missing here.

Solution

  • Try using the CassandraAuthorizer class from org.apache instead:

    authorizer: org.apache.cassandra.auth.CassandraAuthorizer
