Description

The RolesCache.initCache method currently checks the authenticator as follows:

        if (DatabaseDescriptor.getAuthenticator() instanceof AllowAllAuthenticator)
            return null;

This does not allow for any 3rd party authenticators that don't require authentication. It should check the requireAuthentication method on the authenticator to see if it should continue.
