Flink Jira Bot updated FLINK-6713:
----------------------------------
Labels: stale-assigned (was: )
> Document how to allow multiple Kafka consumers / producers to authenticate
> using different credentials
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-6713
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6713
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / Kafka, Documentation
> Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
> Assignee: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
> Priority: Major
> Labels: stale-assigned
>
> The doc improvements should include:
> 1. Clearly state that the built-in JAAS security module in Flink is a JVM
> process-wide static JAAS file installation (all static JAAS files are, not
> Flink specific), and therefore only allows all Kafka consumers and producers
> in a single JVM (and therefore the whole job, since we do not allow assigning
> operators to specific slots) to authenticate as one single user.
> 2. If Kerberos authentication is used: self-ship multiple keytab files, and
> use Kafka's dynamic JAAS configuration through client properties to point to
> separate keytabs for each consumer / producer. Note that ticket cache would
> never work for multiple authentications.
> 3. If plain simple login is used: Kafka's dynamic JAAS configuration should
> be used (and is the only way to do so).
