User Guide for kafka-ldap-integration

This user guide covers the following:

  1. How to enable authentication (SASL_PLAINTEXT) and authorization for Apache Kafka.
  2. Code documentation outlining LDAP bind (authentication verification) and LDAP group membership (authorization) in the Kafka context.
  3. Use of Apache Directory Studio, LDAP server up and running in a few minutes

Following these instructions will take approximately 30 minutes. At the end, you should have a working Kafka environment locally.

Two important observations:

  • Never use SASL_PLAINTEXT in production systems. TLS configuration is an independent activity beyond this context. Just substitute SASL_PLAINTEXT with SASL_SSL when activating TLS.
  • This text is a minimalistic "recipe", please read more on relevant sites for enlightenment.
