Securing the connection between Hive/Hadoop and Cassandra

Follow the steps below to secure the data connection between WSO2 BAM and Cassandra server.

1. Download and install appropriate java security libraries (JCE libraries) into <JRE_HOME>/lib/security/ directory.

2. Add the following configurations under client_encryption_options in <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/etc/cassandra.yaml file.

   client_encryption_options: 
       enabled: true 
       keystore: [Key Store Path] 
       keystore_password: [Key Store Password] 
       require_client_auth: false 
       # Set trustore and truststore_password if require_client_auth is true 
       # truststore: [Trust Store Path] 
       # truststore_password: [Trust Store Password] 
       # More advanced defaults below: 
       protocol: SSL 
       algorithm: SunX509 
       store_type: JKS 
       cipher_suites: [TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA] 

3. If the Cassandra connection is successfully secured, in the Cassandra server startup you will see the message below.
