Does support the Kerberos based authentication?

[nellaivijay]

Does support the connectivity to kafka cluster if it kerberosized?

[cluyihunter]

yes, but the support is limited, at least based on my experience
related to issue #333
try setting handshake-first=true under sasl
and noverify=true for tls
no such support for zookeeper servers though

I'm also interested in keytab authentication... any update please (brokers configured with SASL_SSL)?

[peterolivo]

I am bumping this issue as I am wondering the same thing as @jrevillard
Can burrow connect to brokers config'd with SASL_SSL?

[rja1]

Didn't ever see an update here. So, can Burrow auth using SASL_PLAINTEXT + Keytab ?

Thanks much!

As far as I know, no... but sarama (which is used by Burrow) does since version 1.2.3 (Add kerberos support (IBM/sarama#1366))

It seems that the options needs to be exposed :

Apparently, this has to be done here:

Burrow/core/internal/helpers/sarama.go

Line 118 in 334be91

if viper.IsSet(configRoot + ".sasl") {

Best,
