-------------------------------------
Summary: Implement SASL/PLAIN
Key: KAFKA-2658
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2658
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Rajini Sivaram
Assignee: Rajini Sivaram
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 0.9.0.0
KAFKA-1686 supports SASL/Kerberos using GSSAPI. We should enable more SASL
mechanisms. SASL/PLAIN would enable a simpler use of SASL, which along with SSL
provides a secure Kafka that uses username/password for client authentication.
SASL/PLAIN protocol and its uses are described in
[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4616]. It is supported in Java.
This should be implemented after KAFKA-1686. This task should also hopefully
enable simpler unit testing of the SASL code.
