question Re: Kafka: security.inter.broker.protocol can not be set to SASL_SSL, as Kerberos is not enabled in Support Questions https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Kafka-security-inter-broker-protocol-can-not-be-set-to-SASL/m-p/269685#M207017 <P><a href="https://community.cloudera.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/29428">@AKR</a> <BR />I run into the same problem. I don't think SASL itself is restricted to use Kerberos protocol, according to <A href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Authentication_and_Security_Layer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wikipedia</A>. As far as I am concerned, it seems that Cloudera recommends its users to use Kerberos and kind of forbids us using other mechanisms. I wonder the reason why we cannot or should not use other SASL mechanisms.</P> Wed, 04 Sep 2019 02:16:55 GMT iamabug 2019-09-04T02:16:55Z
