Prconfig properties for Cassandra cluster encryption

Updated on March 11, 2021

This content applies only to On-premises and Client-managed cloud environments

Secure the data transfer between Cassandra nodes and between the client machines and the Cassandra cluster by customizing the prconfig.xml file properties.

Client-to-node encryption properties

Client-to-node encryption protects the data that is transferring from client machines to the Cassandra cluster by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
PropertyDefault valueAvailable values
dnode/cassandra_client_encryptionfalse
  • true
  • false
dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/client_authfalse
  • true
  • false
dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/store_typeThe value of the dnode/cassandra_internode_encryption/store_type property.
  • jks
  • pkcs12
dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/cipher_suitesnullA comma separated list of the TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA ciphers.
dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/algorithmSunX509There are no other available values.
dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/keystoreThe value of the dnode/cassandra_internode_encryption/keystore property.The path to the keystore.
dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/keystore_passwordThe value of the dnode/cassandra_internode_encryption/keystore_password property.Not applicable
dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/truststorenullThe path to the truststore that is used only if you set the dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/client_auth property to true.
dnode/cassandra_client_encryption/truststore_passwordnullNot applicable.

Internode encryption properties

Internode encryption protects data transferring between nodes in the Cassandra cluster by using SSL.
