Kafka SSL account validation to confluent cloud
Hi,
So I am trying to connect to my env in the confluent cloud using the kafka ssl account configuration.
After doing everything step by step creating the keystore and truststore file and also creating api key secret in confluent cloud and also the right passwords for the trust/keystore files.

My questions has anyone had a use case that needed to configure kafka ssl acount?

Jens,
I just verified that our instructions work as described for Confluent Cloud accounts:
What do you mean that “it works with the REST API endpoint”? Our Kafka snaps do not work with the Confluent REST Proxy, which is a low-performance HTTP protocol adapter layer relative to the high-performance binary protocol used by the Kafka brokers. Our account requires the host:port value shown as the
Bootstrap server
in the Confluent CloudCluster settings
:
Your account screenshot is showing several things misconfigured:
- No keystore or truststore file is required.
- The
Security Protocol
must beSASL_SSL
, notSASL_PLAINTEXT
. - The
SASL Mechanism
must bePLAIN
(you have this part correct). - The
SASL Username or Key
andSASL Password or Key
must be set to theKey
andSecret
values obtained when creating the API key in Confluent Kafka. No re-encoding of anything is necessary.
