-----------------------------------
There is now a KIP: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-398
> Support loading trust stores from classpath
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-7685
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7685
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Reporter: Noa Resare
> Priority: Minor
>
> Certificate pinning as well as authenticating kafka brokers using a
> non-public CA certificate maintained inside an organisation is desirable to a
> lot of users. This can be accomplished today using the
> {{ssl.truststore.location}} configuration property. Unfortunately, this value
> is always interpreted as a filesystem path which makes distribution of such
> an alternative truststore a needlessly cumbersome process. If we had the
> ability to load a trust store from the classpath as well as from a file, the
> trust store could be shipped in a jar that could be declared as a regular
> maven style dependency.
> If we did this by supporting prefixing {{ssl.truststore.location}} with
> {{classpath:}} this could be a backwards compatible change, one that builds
> on prior design patterns established by for example the Spring project.
