I would like to initiate the voting process for KIP-85: Dynamic JAAS configuration for Kafka Clients:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-85%3A+Dynamic+JAAS+configuration+for+Kafka+clients This KIP enables Java clients to connect to Kafka using SASL without a physical jaas.conf file. This will also be useful to configure multiple KafkaClient login contexts when multiple users are supported within a JVM. Thank you... Regards, Rajini
