Authentication¶

Plain text¶

Credentials are provided using the cass_cluster_set_credentials() function.

CassCluster* cluster = cass_cluster_new();

const char* username = "cassandra";
const char* password = "cassandra";

cass_cluster_set_credentials(cluster, username, password);

/* Connect session object */

cass_cluster_free(cluster);

Important: The credentials are sent in plain text to the server. For this reason, it is highly recommended that this be used in conjunction with client-to-node encryption (TLS), or in a trusted network environment.
