> Key: KAFKA-4764
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4764
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.10.2.0
> Reporter: Rajini Sivaram

> Fix For: 1.0.0

>
> At the moment, broker closes the client connection if SASL authentication
> fails. Clients see this as a connection failure and do not get any feedback
> for the reason why the connection was closed. Producers and consumers retry,
> attempting to create successful connections, treating authentication failures
> as transient failures. There are no log entries on the client-side which
> indicate that any of these connection failures were due to authentication
> failure.
> This JIRA will aim to improve diagnosis of authentication failures with the
> changes described in
> [KIP-152|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-152+-+Improve+diagnostics+for+SASL+authentication+failures].
> This JIRA also does not change handling of SSL authentication failures.
> javax.net.debug provides sufficient diagnostics for this case. SSL changes
> are harder to do while preserving backward compatibility.
