Hi Kriti, You will have to implement the Principal Builder interface and provide the full class path in broker config. I don't remember the exact config name right now, but you can search for some config by name "principalbuilder.class" in the broker configs.
Once you do this, Kafka will automatically use your custom PrincipalBuilder class for generating the principal. The buildPrincipal() function in the PrincipalBuilder is where you will have to create the your custom Principal class object ( This custom principal class should implement Java principal interface) and this custom principal.getname() can return whatever name you want. Let me know if this helps.
