Kafka JAAS Authentication Pega
Hi All,
We are integrating Pega with Kafka to send messages. we have given with few config settings that needs to be done at Pega end for JAAS authentication. I have gone thru few articles and got to know the below.
1) Create JAAS file e.g client_jaas.conf with below details and place the file in server path.(need to know the location)
KafkaClient {
org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required
username=XXXXX
password=XXXXXX;
};
2) mention the file path in JVM parameter as below
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=< path>/kafka_client_jaas.conf
3) configure below settings (need to know in which file we have add this settings)

Hi Kevin,
Thank you so much, I have few additional questions
1) Since we are setting "security.protocol" in PrConfig, its common for all Kafka connections right? lets say i need to configure two different Auth for two different connections , how do we achieve this? let say one with kerberos auth and other with Plain auth?
2) How do we set additional Producer properties like buffer.memory,max.block.ms,request.timeout.ms,acks. is it in PrConfig directly or any DSS available ?
