[SOLVED] Connecting cassandra-stress to AWS Keyspaces

I've provisions a Keyspace on AWS and in order to make sure it can achieve our desired performance I'm trying to run the cassandra-stress tool on it and compare it to other architectures we're experimenting with.

I managed to connect to it using the following cqlshrc:

[connection]
port = 9142
factory = cqlshlib.ssl.ssl_transport_factory

[ssl]
validate = true
certfile =  /root/.cassandra/AmazonRootCA1.pem

And the following command (hoping that soon enough there will be Python3 support, the development was completed this February according to their Jira ticket):

cqlsh cassandra.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com 9142  -u "myuser-at-722222222222" -p "12/12ZmHmtD1klsDk9cgqt/XXXXXXXXxUz6Sy687z/U=" --ssl --cqlversion="3.4.4"

Surprisingly or not, when using the official AWS guides things tend to work.

So I went on and tried connecting the cassandra-stress tool (I have it inside a Docker container, I'd rather keep my OS Java free) to the same Keyspace.

First I converted the AWS AmazonRootCA1.pem into cassandra_truststore.jks using the following commands (explained here):

openssl x509 -outform der -in AmazonRootCA1.pem -out temp_file.der
keytool -import -alias cassandra -keystore cassandra_truststore.jks -file temp_file.der

Now when I'm trying to run the actual tool like this:

./cassandra-stress write -node cassandra.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com -port native=9142 thrift=9142 jmx=9142 -transport truststore=/root/.cassandra/cassandra_truststore.jks truststore-password=mypassword -mode native cql3 user="myuser-at-722222222222" password="12/12ZmHmtD1klsDk9cgqt/XXXXXXXXxUz6Sy687z/U="

I'm getting the following error:

I've tried changing some parameters such as the jks password etc. (Just in case I was wrong) but I got a different error message so it's probably not the case.

Did I miss something?
