Now that 0.10.2.0 is out, I was looking forward to checking out the inclusion of KIP-85 <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-85%3A+Dynamic+JAAS+configuration+for+Kafka+clients>. I have a potential need for multi-tenancy in a single kafka connect instance, and wanted to be able to authenticate each connector via kerberos, and setting up ACLs for the principal to control read/write access. I'm not seeing a way to specify the config key 'sasl.jaas.config' on the connector config, as it is read in as a string, but JaasUtils (and looks like now LoginManager in trunk) expects the type to already be PASSWORD.
Is there a way in connect to make this work now, or should I log a JIRA/KIP for this enhancement? Thanks, Stephen
