Hi Team,

We are using Apache Cassandra 3.0.13 version.

As part of Cassandra database security, we have created database super user=
 authentication, but from driver side we have default cql connection syntax=
 as "cqlsh <ip address>" not like "cqlsh <ip address> -u username and -p pa=
ssword". So cqlsh connection failing from application side.

So we have choosen a firewall method to limit the access to Cassandra datab=
ase with system IP address ranges.

Suggest us If any other better method than IP address firewall to create a =
security  for Cassandra.

Thanks,
Bhargav
