             Summary: Support Kafka to save credentials in Java Key Store on 
Zookeeper node
                 Key: KAFKA-6602
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6602
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: security
            Reporter: Chen He


Kafka connect needs to talk to multifarious distributed systems. However, each 
system has its own authentication mechanism. How we manage these credentials 
become a common problem. 

Here are my thoughts:
 # We may need to save it in java key store;
 # We may need to put this key store in a distributed system (topic or 
zookeeper);
 # Key store password may be configured in Kafka configuration;

I have implement the feature that allows store java key store in zookeeper 
node. If Kafka community likes this idea, I am happy to contribute.
