Security Configuration Options
Describes Kafka Connect security parameters.
Security mechanisms provide an authentication, encryption, and impersonation layer between the Kafka Connect REST API clients and the Kafka Connect REST Gateway. By default, Kafka Connect is secure when installed on a secure cluster. A secure cluster is a cluster installed with the default security (data-fabric SASL) enabled. Default security provides authentication, encryption, and impersonation for Kafka Connect.
Configure security for Kafka Connect through the security parameters in the
connect-distributed.properties file.
/opt/mapr/kafka/kafka-<version>/config/connect-distributed.propertiesNOTE Ensure that both a
ssl_keystore and a ssl_truststore
file have been created. | Parameter | Description | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| listeners | Comma-separated list of listeners that listen for API requests over either HTTP or HTTPS. If a listener uses HTTPS, the appropriate SSL configuration parameters need to be set as well. Each listener must include the protocol, hostname, and port. For example: http://localhost:8082 | list | none |
| ssl.cipher.suites | A list of SSL cipher suites. This list is a comma-separated list. Leave blank to use Jetty’s default. | list | none |
| authentication.enable | Enable authentication. MapR supports multiple authentication methods at same time: Basic and MapR SASL | boolean | false |
| authentication.cookie.expiration | The option is used to specify expiration time (in seconds) for authentication cookie. | long | 7200 (2 hours) |
| impersonation.enable | Whether or not to enable impersonation, if disabled - all manipulation will be performed from the admin of cluster user. | boolean | false |
| headers.file | The option is used to specify XML file that contains security and custom headers. The headers will be added to a response by Jetty server. | string | none |
| hadoop.http.authentication.types | A list of hadoop authentication types for MultiMechsAuthenticationHandler | list | maprauth, basic |
| ssl.cipher.suites.exclude | A list of disabled SSL cipher suites. This is a comma-separated list. | list |
|
| ssl.disabled.protocols | The list of SSL protocols that will not be accepted by clients. This is a comma-separated list. | list |
|
| ssl.enabled.protocols | The list of SSL protocols that can be accepted from clients. The list is a comma-separated list. Leave blank to use Jetty’s defaults. | list | empty |
| ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm | The endpoint identification algorithm to validate the server hostname using the server certificate. IMPORTANT: Jetty requires that the key's CN, stored in the keystore, must match the FQDN if ssl_endpoint_identification_algorithm=https. Leave blank to use Jetty’s default. | string | none |
| ssl.key.password | The password of the private key in the keystore file. If this parameter is not set, the property value is obtained from the ssl-client.xml file. | string | empty |
| ssl.keymanager.algorithm | The algorithm used by the key manager factory for SSL connections. Leave blank to use Jetty’s default. | string | none |
| ssl.keystore.location | Location of the keystore file. If this parameter is not set, the property value is obtained from the ssl-client.xml file. | string | empty |
| ssl.keystore.password | The store password for the keystore file. If this parameter is not set, the property value is obtained from the ssl-client.xml file. | string | empty |
| ssl.keystore.type | The type of keystore file. | string | JKS |
| ssl.protocol | The SSL protocol used to generate the SslContextFactory. | string | TLSv1.2 |
| ssl.provider | The SSL security provider name. Leave blank to use Jetty’s default. | string | none |
| ssl.trustmanager.algorithm | The algorithm used by the trust manager factory for SSL connections. Leave blank to use Jetty’s default. | string | none |
| ssl.truststore.location | Location of the trust store. Required only to authenticate HTTPS clients. | string | empty |
| ssl.truststore.password | The store password for the trust store file. | string | empty |
| ssl.truststore.type | The type of trust store file. | string | JKS |
