# Cassandra

<!-- BEGIN GENERATED:intro -->

The Cassandra connector is a [Palantir-provided driver](../../data-integration/foundry-provided-drivers/index.md) for Cassandra.

To create a new Cassandra source, follow the [standard setup flow for Palantir-provided drivers](../../data-integration/foundry-provided-drivers/index.md#setup), then use the sections below for Cassandra-specific configuration and networking. For the complete property reference, see the [official Cassandra driver documentation ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/pg_connectionj.htm).

## Configuration

The properties below are mandatory or recommended.

| Property | Required? | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| [`AuthScheme` ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/RSBCassandra_p_AuthScheme.htm) | Mandatory | The scheme used for authentication. Accepted entries are Basic, DSE, Kerberos, and LDAP. | `Basic` |
| [`Database` ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/RSBCassandra_p_Database.htm) | Mandatory | The name of the Cassandra keyspace. | — |
| [`Password` ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/RSBCassandra_p_Password.htm) | Mandatory | Specifies the password of the authenticating user account. | — |
| [`Port` ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/RSBCassandra_p_Port.htm) | Mandatory | The port for the Cassandra database. | `9042` |
| [`Server` ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/RSBCassandra_p_Server.htm) | Mandatory | The host name or IP address of the server hosting the Cassandra database. | — |
| [`User` ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/RSBCassandra_p_User.htm) | Mandatory | Specifies the user ID of the authenticating Cassandra user account. | — |
| [`UseSSL` ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/RSBCassandra_p_UseSSL.htm) | Mandatory | This field sets whether SSL is enabled. | `TRUE` |
| [`ConsistencyLevel` ↗](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RCK/jdbc/RSBCassandra_p_ConsistencyLevel.htm) | Recommended | The consistency level determines how many of the replicas of the data you are interacting with need to respond for the query to be considered a success. | `ONE` |

## Networking

The table below lists the domains that the source must be able to access to run.

For each domain, add a corresponding [egress policy](../../administration/configure-egress/index.md). If the source is hosted on-premises and not directly reachable from Foundry, use an [agent proxy egress policy](../../administration/configure-egress/index.md#agent-proxy-egress-policies) instead. The agent host itself must also be able to reach the listed domains. See [using an agent as a proxy](../../data-connection/agent-proxy/index.md) for details.

| Domain  | Required |
|--- |--- |
| \<Server>:\<Port>  | If `UseSSH=FALSE` (default), Server and Port connection properties (default: localhost:9042) |
| \<LDAPServer>:\<LDAPPort> | If `AuthScheme=LDAP` (default `Port=389`) |
| \<SSHServer>:\<SSHPort> | If `UseSSH=TRUE` (default `Port=22`) |
| \<KerberosKDC>:88 | If `AuthScheme=Kerberos` |
| \<KerberosServiceKDC>:88 | If `AuthScheme=Kerberos` and Kerberos topology uses multiple realms |
