Support for authorization on kafka instance

[csuryac]

Does this support Kafka which is enabled with SASL . how do we pass the config file has authorization details

[r-glyde]

Yeah, this just uses the underlying kafka admin client so everything needed should be supported (we use this with SSL fine). Some examples here but essentially you can either pass the property as a command line argument (e.g. --properties security.protocol=SSL,ssl.keystore.password=bar) or you can set via environment variables that are just the property name uppercased prefixed with KAFKA_ (with _ replacing .) e.g. KAFKA_SECURITY_PROTOCOL=SSL.

@r-glyde do you know if kafka-configurator supports username + password (SASL/SCRAM)?
