Cassandra: Setting ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes produces invalid yaml

[patdowney]

Name and Version

bitnami/cassandra:5.0.2

What architecture are you using?

amd64

What steps will reproduce the bug?

docker run --env "ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=YES" bitnami/cassandra:5.0.2

What is the expected behavior?

...

cassandra 12:50:30.68 INFO  ==> Found CQL startup log line
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:
cassandra 12:50:31.53 INFO  ==> Nodetool reported the successful startup of cassandra

What do you see instead?

Additional information

I think the issue is around

containers/bitnami/cassandra/5.0/debian-12/rootfs/opt/bitnami/scripts/libcassandra.sh

Line 572 in 0e933d1

cassandra_yaml_set "authorizer" "AllowAllAuthorizer"

The outcome of that transformation seems to change (from /opt/bitnami/cassandra/conf.default/cassandra.yaml):

authorizer:
  class_name: AllowAllAuthorizer

into

authorizer: 'AllowAllAuthorizer'
  class_name: AllowAllAuthorizer

So I think either that line is redundant, or needs some kind of conditional around it, perhaps inclusion in the -le 5 conditional directly above it
