Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-3665:
--------------------------------
[~Ryan P], is SNI really relevant here? According to Rajini, only the client
validates the server hostname/IP. So, the suggestion of using SubjectAltNames
with the VIP on the server side seems more relevant.
> Default ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm should be https

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3665
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1, 0.10.0.0
> Reporter: Ismael Juma
> Assignee: Ismael Juma
> Fix For: 0.10.1.0
>
>
> The default `ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm` is `null` which is not a
> secure default (man in the middle attacks are possible).
> We should probably use `https` instead. A more conservative alternative would
> be to update the documentation instead of changing the default.
