Remote cluster with auth and SSL enabled

In this scenario, you will have to tell cqlsh where to find a SSL certificate to present at connection time. This is done in your $HOME/.cassandra/cqlshrc file. A common cqlshrc file used for connecting to a client-to-node SSL enabled cluster may look like this:

cat cqlshrc[connection]factory = cqlshlib.ssl.ssl_transport_factory[ssl]certfile = /home/aploetz/.cassandra/permanentWaves.pemvalidate = false
Creation of the permanentWaves.pem file is demonstrated in the next section.

With that configuration in place, execute cqlsh providing the IP address of the host, along with a valid username and password and the --ssl flag:

bin/cqlsh 192.168.0.101 -u cassdba -p flynnLives --ssl
