Is there a way to authenticate with SSL certs?

[alekseyp]

Hello,

I've tried to do it by installing certs in OS, but couldn't authenticate against my Kafka with SSL auth enabled.

https://docs.confluent.io/current/kafka/authentication_ssl.html#clients

Has anyone tried to do it or client just doesn't support it yet?

you can configure the trusted certificate:

@alpha2z do you mean the client certificate authentication?
yes, it's not supported yet.

What are the plans to support SASL?

[doujiang24]

We planned to implement the SASL feature, maybe ok in the next few weeks.
PRs are still welcome :)

Would love to see SASL support!

Just wondering is SASL has been implemented yet?

Hello.
Sorry, do you plan to implement SSL client authentication on kafka with certificate and key (or truststore/keystore)?
