# Replication is in the form "dataCenterName:#CassandraNodes". 
# For example, for dc-1 with three Cassandra nodes, it is dc-1:3.

The following table contains additional information about these properties:

Property	Note
CASS_HOSTS	If you are installing Cassandra, specify the Cassandra node IPs (not DNS names) and include the “:dc,ra” modifier that specify the data center and rack of the Cassandra node. For example '192.168.124.201:1,1 = datacenter 1 and rack/availability zone 1, and '192.168.124.204:2,1 = datacenter 2 and rack/availability zone 1.
CASS_USERNAME CASS_PASSWORD	Cassandra user name and password. If Cassandra authentication is disabled, you still have to pass these values. However, the values are ignored.
BAAS_CASS_LOCALDC	The region names must be in the form dc-# where # corresponds to an integer value. For example, dc-1, dc-2, etc. If you are connecting to a Cassandra cluster installed with Edge, you can ask the Edge system administrator for this value. In an Edge single data center installation, the default value is dc-1. If you installed Cassandra as part of installing the API BaaS, then during Cassandra installation you added the “:dc,ra” modifier to the Cassandra IP addresses. The first value "dc" is the data center number. The data center name is the string "dc-" with the data center number as a suffix.
BAAS_CASS_DC_LIST	Specify the same value as BAAS_CASS_LOCALDC.
BAAS_CASS_REPLICATION	The format is dataCenterName:#CassandraNodes without quotes. For example, for dc-1 with three Cassandra nodes, it is dc-1:3. For installing a second data center, specify information for both data centers: BAAS_CASS_REPLICATION=dc-1:3,dc-2:3
BAAS_CLUSTER_SEEDS	Defines the initial contact points for members of the BaaS cluster. Specify a comma separated list of the BaaS Stack seed nodes in the data center, enclosed in double quotes, in the form "dc-#:nodeIP", where dc-# is the name of the data center as defined by BAAS_CASS_LOCALDC. For a single node install, specify the IP address of the node. In a production environment with at least three BaaS Stack nodes in the data center, specify two Stack nodes as seeds. Do not specify more than two nodes even when you have three or more Stack nodes. For multiple data centers, specify only the seed nodes in that data center.
BAAS_USERGRID_URL	In a production environment, this is the URL and port of the load balancer that is in front of the API BaaS Stack nodes, in the form: http://myStackLoadBalancer:8443 In a testing or development environment, where you only have a single API BaaS Stack node, this can be the URL and port number of an API BaaS Stack node, in the form: http://stackIPorDNS:8080 The port number for the API BaaS Stack server is 8080.
BAAS_PORTAL_URL	The URL and port number of the load balancer, if there is one in front of the Portal, in the form: http://myPortalLoadBalancer:8443 If there is no load balancer, the URL and port number of the Portal node, in the form: http://portalIPorDNS:9000 By default, the port number for the API BaaS Portal is 9000.
BAAS_PORTAL_LISTEN_PORT	The port number for the API BaaS Portal server is 9000. If this port is not available, specify a different port. If you are setting BAAS_PORTAL_URL to the URL of the Portal node, the port numbers must be the same for both properties.
SMTPHOST SMTPUSER SMTPPASSWORD SMTPSSL SMTPPORT SMTPMAILFROM	Configure SMTP so API BaaS can send emails for lost passwords and other notifications. If SMTP user credentials are not required, omit SMTPUSER and SMTPPASSWORD.
