SASL Mechanism

Parameter Explanation

  • SASL Mechanism

    SCRAM-SHA-512 and PLAIN mechanisms are available. If PLAIN is disabled, the SCRAM-SHA-512 mechanism is used for username and password authentication. If PLAIN is enabled, both the SCRAM-SHA-512 and PLAIN mechanisms are supported. You can select either of them as required.

    • SCRAM-SHA-512: uses the hash algorithm to generate credentials based on the username and password for authentication. SCRAM-SHA-512 is more secure than PLAIN.
    • PLAIN: a simple authentication mechanism.

    The SASL setting cannot be changed once ciphertext access is enabled.

FAQ

How Do I Modify the SASL Mechanism?

This mechanism cannot be modified after ciphertext access is enabled. To modify it, create an instance again.
