Hi Sriharsha Chintalapani, any progress you can share ?
> Implement SASL/Kerberos
> -----------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1686
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1686
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Jay Kreps
> Assignee: Sriharsha Chintalapani
> Fix For: 0.9.0
>
>
> Implement SASL/Kerberos authentication.
> To do this we will need to introduce a new SASLRequest and SASLResponse pair
> to the client protocol. This request and response will each have only a
> single byte[] field and will be used to handle the SASL challenge/response
> cycle. Doing this will initialize the SaslServer instance and associate it
> with the session in a manner similar to KAFKA-1684.
> When using integrity or encryption mechanisms with SASL we will need to wrap
> and unwrap bytes as in KAFKA-1684 so the same interface that covers the
> SSLEngine will need to also cover the SaslServer instance.
