Apache Cassandra with SSL

Step 1. Create a Apache Cassandra connection

In the Database tool window ( View | Tool Windows | Database), click the Data Source Properties icon .
In the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, click the Add icon () and select Apache Cassandra.
Check if there is a Download missing driver files link at the bottom of the data source settings area. As you click this link, AppCode downloads drivers that are required to interact with a database. The IDE does not include bundled drivers in order to have a smaller size of the installation package and to keep driver versions up-to-date for each IDE version.
You can specify your drivers for the data source if you do not want to download the provided drivers. For more information about creating a database connection with your driver, see Add a user driver to an existing connection.
In Host, Keyspace, User, Password, and Port fields, specify connection details.

In the Database tool window ( View | Tool Windows | Database), click the Data Source Properties icon .
In the Drivers list, select Apache Cassandra.
In the driver settings, click the Advanced tab.
In the VM options field, specify options for authentication.
- Server authentication: your client verifies that the server is correct and trusted. The truststore must contain a public key of the server or the CA certificate that was used to sign the server key.
```
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<path_to_client_truststore>
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=<truststore_password>
```
- Client authentication: the server verifies the client that tries to connect to the server.
```
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=<path_to_client_keystore>
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=<keystore_password>
```
