basapuram-kumar opened a new issue, #1785:
URL: https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/issues/1785

   Currently, Camel Kafka Connectors wrap the Camel AWS2 components, and many 
enterprise users prefer not to embed long-lived AWS access keys directly in the 
connector configuration (JSON). Instead, they typically rely on enterprise 
authentication mechanisms such as:
   
   HashiCorp Vault (or Kafka Connect ConfigProvider) for secret management
   SAML-based authentication that generates temporary AWS credentials (for 
example, using saml2aws or AWS IAM Identity Center)
   Other enterprise-recommended authentication mechanisms and best practices
   
   At present, AWS Kamelets/connectors expose properties such as accessKey, 
secretKey, and useDefaultCredentialsProvider. However, we could not find any 
documented guidance on enterprise authentication patterns or first-class 
support for secret references (for example, Vault or ConfigProvider) at the 
connector layer.
   
   Has this use case already been considered by the Camel Kafka Connect team? 
If so, is there any existing guidance or roadmap for supporting these 
enterprise authentication patterns? If not, would it be possible to consider 
adding documentation and/or native support for these authentication mechanisms 
in future releases?
   
   Any insights or recommendations on the preferred enterprise approach would 
be greatly appreciated.
