For months, I have been successfully utilizing a standalone cqlsh on Windows with a secure connect bundle to access Astra. Now, with the new authentication token model, this no longer works. Is there an example of how to utilize cqlsh.py with the new authentication tokens?

How do I connect to Astra using the standalone cqlsh with new tokens?
If you've generated an application token for your Astra database, you need to use the client ID + secret in place of the username and password.
The command format is:
$ cd /path/to/cqlsh-astra $ bin/cqlsh -u client_id -p client_secret -b /path/to/secure-connect-bundle.zip
Note that you need to use a token with appropriate permissions such as R/W User or R/W Svc Acct. Tokens with API* roles will not have cqlsh access.
For full details, see Using the Standalone CQL shell with Astra. Cheers!
