I would like to start the voting process for *KIP-43: Kafka SASL enhancements*. This KIP extends the SASL implementation in Kafka to support new SASL mechanisms to enable Kafka to be integrated with different authentication servers.
The KIP is available here for reference: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-43:+Kafka+SASL+enhancements And here's is a link to the discussion on the mailing list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-dev/201601.mbox/%3CCAOJcB39b9Vy7%3DZEM3tLw2zarCS4A_s-%2BU%2BC%3DuEcWs0712UaYrQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E Thank you... Regards, Rajini
