Hi, what an awesome database! I am trying to figure out how to protect aerospike node with username and password when connection is established, but when I call client.CreateUser(apolicy, “admin”, “pwd”, new List());  
I get following error: Error Code 51: Security not supported

Aerospike Community Edition does not support security. Security features are exclusive to the Enterprise Edition.
