ASF GitHub Bot commented on KAFKA-2658: --------------------------------------- GitHub user rajinisivaram opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/341 KAFKA-2658: Add PLAIN mechanism to SASL implementation Implementation and unit tests for SASL/PLAIN. A simple login module and SaslServer implementation for PLAIN mechanism are included in the implementation, but these can be replaced to integrate with authentication servers.

We should enable more SASL > mechanisms. SASL/PLAIN would enable a simpler use of SASL, which along with > SSL provides a secure Kafka that uses username/password for client > authentication. > SASL/PLAIN protocol and its uses are described in > [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4616]. It is supported in Java. > This should be implemented after KAFKA-1686. This task should also hopefully > enable simpler unit testing of the SASL code. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
