Hi Meghana, I did some experiments with SASL_PLAINTEXT and documented the results here: https://developer.ibm.com/opentech/2017/05/31/kafka-acls-in-practice/ I think it covers what you'd like to achieve. If not, please advise.
Thanks. --Vahid From: Meghana Narasimhan <mnarasim...@bandwidth.com> To: users@kafka.apache.org Date: 07/24/2017 01:56 PM Subject: kafka-consumer-groups tool with SASL_PLAINTEXT Hi, What is the correct way to use the kafka-consumer-groups tool with SASL_PLAINTEXT security enabled ? The tool seems to work fine with PLAINTEXT port but not with SASL_PLAINTEXT. Can it be configured to work with SASL_PLAINTEXT ? If so what permissions have to enabled for it ? Thanks, Meghana
