Hello, I am trying to connect to kafka via CLI to publish messages to a topic from a windows box. I’ve read the docs, googled and asked others (everyone I know just uses the GUI). I’m clearly missing something.
I’ve included the (masked) info I use to connect via Kafka Tool followed by a short list of specific questions. Properties : General Cluster Name – ABCD, Kafka Cluster Version – 0.11, Zookeeper Host – localhost, Zookeeper Port – 9999, Chroot path - / Properties : Security Type – SSL, Truststore Location – Path to kafka-trustore, Trustore Password – abcdefghij123, Keystore Location – <blank>, Keystore Password – <blank>, Keystore Private Key Password – <blank> Properties : Advanced Bootstrap servers – ssl://123.45.67.891:1234, ssl://123.45.67.892:1234, ssl://123.45.67.893:1234, SASL mechanism – <blank> 1. Does it matter which version of kafka I use to connect? I'm trying with 2.12-2.2.0 2. I’ve attempted to use the below command, but receive the following error. What am I missing here? Kafka-console-producer --broker-list ssl://123.45.67.891:1234, ssl://123.45.67.892:1234 --producer.config C:\Users\example_user\Kafka\client-ssl.properties --topic FakeTopic Contents of client-ssl.properties: security.protocol = SSL ssl.truststore.location = C:/Users/example_user/Kafka/kafka-truststore ssl.truststore.password = abcdefghij123 Error: >[2019-06-05 13:01:59,592] ERROR [Producer clientId=console-producer] Connection to node -1 (/123.45.67.891:1234) failed authentication due to: SSL handshake failed (org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient)
