Hi everyone. I created KIP-255: OAuth Authentication via SASL/OAUTHBEARER <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=75968876> (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=75968876 ).
This KIP proposes adding the ability to authenticate to Kafka with OAuth 2 bearer tokens using the OAUTHBEARER SASL mechanism. The code blocks in the KIP all reflect the implementation at https://github.com/rondagostino/kafka/tree/KAFKA-4292_plus_oauthbearer. Feel free to look there for more details if the code blocks whet your appetite for more. Everything described in the KIP as currently worded is implemented there (77% code coverage with tests) except for the ability to perform substitution in JAAS config module options. Ron
