unable to edit cassandra user password

I installed datastax cassandra enterprise version and its not allowing me to change the default password.

ALTER USER cassandra WITH PASSWORD 'newpassword' SUPERUSER ;

I am getting below error.

Unauthorized: Error from server: code=2100 [Unauthorized] message="Only superusers can create a role with superuser status"

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks, Ashwin

Solution

  • Thanks Aaron.

    I am using Cassandra 3.10.0.1652 and DSE 5.1.0

    It worked after I enabled internal authentication in dse.yaml file

    authentication_options:
 enabled: true
 default_scheme: internal

authorization_options:
 enabled: true

role_management_options:
 mode: internal

    Thanks, Ashwin.
