Hi Jaikan, Testing before the release is very much appreciated. As Harsha said, user-focused documentation is still in-progress. In addition to the SSL wiki page that Harsha mentioned, Parth wrote a wiki page for the kafka-acls.sh tool:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Authorization+Command+Line+Interface There is also a KIP for ZooKeeper authentication: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-38%3A+ZooKeeper+Authentication In terms of the various security features that will be in 0.9 (SSL authentication and encryption, SASL/Kerberos authentication, ACL authorization, ZooKeeper authentication), which are of interest to you?
