Mohit, In 0.9, Kafka supports Kerberos. So, you can authenticate with any directory service that supports Kerberos (e.g., Active Directory). Our default authorization is based on individual users, not on groups though.
You can find more a bit more info on security in the following links. http://kafka.apache.org/090/documentation.html#security_sasl http://docs.confluent.io/2.0.0/kafka/sasl.html Thanks, Jun On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 9:30 AM, Mohit Anchlia <mohitanch...@gmail.com> wrote: > In 0.9 release it's not clear if Security features of LDAP authentication > and authorization are available?
