abstractclass Cassandra::Auth::Authenticator
An authenticator handles the authentication challenge/response cycles of a single connection. It can be stateful, but it must not for any reason block. If any of the method calls block, the whole connection process will be blocked.
- Abstract
- Authenticators created by auth providers don’t need to be subclasses of this class, but need to implement the same methods. This class exists only for documentation purposes.
