SSL support for client-node encrypted communication

[shobhit85]

Hi,

Is there any plan to add ssl support for all the calls from the client to the cassandra server node?

Thanks,

HI,

We do not plan to implement ssl support. I don't even know if it can be achieved at this layer.
Tunneling would be impossible for you?

Cheers

Hi Mathieu,

As long as this driver is based on thrift API of Cassandra, I think we should be able to add ssl support to the driver as thrift provides SSL communication layer.

I am trying myself to add the changes to the driver to try out if this works. May be I can contribute if this works out.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi,

Yes If Thrift provides SSL com layer, we can do it. I don't have much time to work on this project, but I can help you implementing it if you plan to do so

That would be great if you could help me. I am working on the implementation already. Let me know how to collaborate...

Thanks,

@mlornac-orange I have created a new pull request here with the changes required to support SSL between a php client and Cassandra server.

Please feel free to review it.

Thanks,

FYI this has been merged into [1] with all the tests passing BUT hasn't been properly tested yet with production code... so try it and report back here? :-)

Thanks @simonhf. We used it for production in my previous company it worked great. At that time new DataStax driver for PHP was not out.
