Hi Ritesh You just need to create yourself a text file called client-ssl.properties or similar in the directory your running from. In that file you put your SSL client information. Something like this:
security.protocol = SSL ssl.truststore.location = "/var/private/ssl/kafka.client.truststore.jks" ssl.truststore.password = "test1234" If you prefer you can pass these on the command line too with the producer/consumer-property option too. There’s some documentation here <http://docs.confluent.io/2.0.0/kafka/ssl.html#configuring-kafka-clients> if you’d like more info.
