Generic Kafka Producer —> AWS MSK broker (Authentication?)

Hello Dojo,

We are pointing a Generic Kafka Producer towards an AWS MSK cluster,
selecting SASL as the security protocol,

but the brokers seem to allow authentication only via SCRAM-SHA-512:
is this supported by any version of the Generic Kafka Producer?

We're using version 1.0.1.7 of the connector - error logs would suggest that the element is using SASL PLAIN - is there any way to specify SCRAM-SHA-512 instead?

Thanks

Hi

For SASL authentication, Kafka supports mechanisms such as GSSAPI, PLAIN, SCRAM-SHA-256, SCRAM-SHA-512, and OAUTHBEARER.

In the current connector version, SASL authentication uses the PLAIN mechanism with username and password. To support other mechanisms, a new feature request would be needed to add a configurable parameter for selecting the SASL mechanism.

Regards,
