Hello,

Do you have any “Kafka Producer” driver that uses SSL to connect to a kafka bus in the present?

Thank you.

Best regards

Bruno Sousa

Hi Bruno

The current version of the Kafka producer connector supports only the SASL SSL security protocol for communication with Kafka brokers. In this configuration, SSL is used as security protocol, and the SASL mechanism ‘PLAIN’ is utilized for authentication, requiring the use of credentials, specifically a username and password, to authenticate with the Kafka broker.

Regards,

Hi Ben,

How are you? Hope you are well.

I was checking the catalog url and I saw reference in the driver to “SASL” and not “SSL” .

Maybe I am missing something?

Note: when I questioned a colleague from the kafka team about the subject he told me that the connection should be in SSL (and not in SASL..).

Thank you.

Best regards

Hi Bruno – doing great, trust you as well?

I’m not very knowledgeable about the specifics, and I’ll see if the owner of this integration can further clarify. But I believe one does not exclude the other. SASL refers to the authentication (hence the reference to that in the documentation, as you would have to specify a username and password. SSL is about the encryption of the exchanged data. So I would suspect that both apply, but only one is referenced here in relation to the fact that a username and password is required. But I would have to check, this is only my take based on a first read.
