[jfnumainville]

Hello,

Does anyone have an example of a work Kafka topic that is using OAuth2 authentication? 

Thank you in advance!

Hi  J-F

The development of this feature is in progress now , and we have a new question : can you please tell me - are you using / planning to use the OAuth2.0 auth type or are you thinking to use the OAuth2.0 Azure or OAuth2.0 JWT Bearer?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hello @DanielPomian,

We are currently using OAuth2.0 and we have no plans to use the "OAuth2.0 Azure" or  the "OAuth2.0 JWT Bearer" types. 

Have a good day,

Hi J-F

Can you please let us know what kind of grant type (Client Credentials, Implicit …) are you using between your Apache Kafka and Authorisation server? We would like to cover your setup too in our testing process. 

Thanks,

Daniel

Hey Daniel,

We are using the "Client Credentials" grant type. 

Thank you for your efforts on adding this feature,

Hi all,

seems that I have just found somebody with an similar issue. We also use oauth2 for Kafka topics. But, although the advanced configuration detects the ttl of the token it doesn't automatically generate or refresh it.

We have a similar setup as @jfnumainville but had to implement a groovy script in order to have the token generated or refreshed. I had hoped that release 3.41.0 would bring a solution to this, since oauth2 was explicitly mentioned in the release notes, but it apparently didn't.

As this issue is highlighted as solved, I would be interested in the solution.

Regards all and happy testing

Hey J-F

I hope you are doing well ! 

We have release the support for Oauth2.0 for Kafka in 3.42.0 and I wanted to ask you how does the feature work for you ? 🙂

If you have any feedback, please let us know and we will try to offer you our support.

Have a nice day and Happy Testing!
