-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Kerberos authentication sets java authrizedId to 
authenticationId not autherizationId
                 Key: KAFKA-10099
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10099
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Francois Fernando


Following authentication code in kafka still puzzles me (Lines 67-74: 
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/3cdc78e6bb1f83973a14ce1550fe3874f7348b05/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/security/authenticator/SaslServerCallbackHandler.java).


{{private void handleAuthorizeCallback(AuthorizeCallback ac) {}}
{{  String authenticationID = ac.getAuthenticationID();}}
{{  String authorizationID = ac.getAuthorizationID();}}

{{  LOG.info("Successfully authenticated client: authenticationID={}; 
authorizationID={}.",}}
{{ authenticationID, authorizationID);}}

{{  ac.setAuthorized(true);}}
{{  ac.setAuthorizedID(authenticationID);}}
{{}}}

In a kafka cluster secured with Kerberos, using a kafka keytab with principal 
like `sys_read/reader.myorg.c...@myorg.corp` results in:

authenticationID = sys_r...@myorg.corp;
authorizationID = sys_read/reader.myorg.c...@myorg.corp

Last line of above method sets the authorizedID to authenticationID not 
authorizationID. From my understanding of java security, the principal will 
become what's set in AuthorizedID.

This means the ACL definitions can't use the full principal string as the 
principal as authorizer will never see it.
