Auth Failed issue while implementing GSSAPI auth in Nodejs app

2024-02-20 Thread Ketan Malwa
I’m currently looking to connect my nodejs app (using kafkajs package) with
a kerberised kafka cluster (GSSAPI enabled, openldap) but facing the
SASL_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED error when trying to authenticate with a SPNEGO
token.

Kafkajs library has no built in support for GSSAPI mechanism. I’m not sure
if it’s the right approach but I have come as far as getting a ticket from
the openldap server and creating a SPNEGO token (base64) from it but don’t
know what approach to take further.

I think encoding is the issue here but I’m a newbie and seeking out
guidance on how to approach this problem.
