-----------------------------
Summary: Allow password file in server.properties to separate
'secrets' from standard configs
Key: KAFKA-4294
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4294
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ryan P
Java's keytool(for Windows) allows you to specify the keystore/truststore
password with an external file in addition to a string argument.
-storepass:file secret.txt

It would be nice if Kafka could offer the same functionality allowing
organizations to separate concerns between standard configs and 'secrets'.
Ideally Kafka would add a secrets file property to the broker config which
could override any ssl properties which currently exist within the broker
config. Since the secrets file property is only used to override existing
SSL/TLS properties the change maintains backward compatibility.
