Is there a best practice guide available for securing Cassandra Reaper similarly to Cassandra (https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Advanced_Functionality/Security/Advanced_security_configuration/Database_security/Security_Cassandra_general.html)?
If not, then what are the recommended steps to carry out?
Hi Laszlo,
Reaper can be installed in different ways. If security is a concern, then there is only one viable option to install Reaper in side-car mode. In short this is to avoid exposing JMX to the network. More information can be found on the official documentation of Reaper: cassandra-reaper.io/docs/usage/sidecar_mode/
In short, it means you install the Reaper SW on every Cassandra node, so Cassandra only needs to expose the JMX interface to 'localhost'. This is also mentioned in our docs: Installing Cassandra Reaper | DataMiner Docs
