Hi all, I would like to start the voting process for KIP-86:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-86%3A+Configurable+SASL+callback+handlers The KIP makes callback handlers for SASL configurable to make it simpler to integrate with custom authentication database or custom authentication servers. This is particularly useful for SASL/PLAIN where the implementation in Kafka based on credentials stored in jaas.conf is not suitable for production use. It is also useful for SCRAM in environments where ZooKeeper is not secure. Thank you... Regards, Rajini
