 ### Kafka with Kerberos enabled
 
+#### Running Sensors
+
+A couple steps are required to produce data to a Kerberized Kafka topic. On 
the host you'll be setting up your sensor(s), switch to the metron user and 
create a client_jaas.conf file in the metron home directory if one doesn't 
already exist. It should be owned by metron:metron and
+contain at least the following stanza that tells the Kafka client how to 
interact with Kerberos:
+```
+su - metron
+cat ${METRON_HOME}/client_jaas.conf
+...
+KafkaClient {
+   com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
+   useKeyTab=true
+   keyTab="/etc/security/keytabs/metron.headless.keytab"
+   storeKey=true
+   useTicketCache=false
+   serviceName="kafka"
+   principal="[email protected]";
+};
+```
+
+You'll also need to set KAFKA_OPTS to tell the Kafka client how to interact 
with Kerberos.
+```
+export 
KAFKA_OPTS="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=${METRON_HOME}/client_jaas.conf"
+```
+
+For sensors that leverage the Kafka console producer to pipe data into Metron, 
e.g. Snort and Yaf, you will need to modify the corresponding sensor shell 
scripts or config to append the SASL security protocol property. 
`--security-protocol SASL_PLAINTEXT`. Be sure to kinit with the metron user's 
keytab before executing the script that starts the sensor.
+

[metron/metron-sensors/README.md](../metron-sensors/README.md)
