             Summary: Use SASL authentication in ConfigCommand for connection 
to zookeeper
                 Key: KAFKA-8552
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8552
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: zkclient
    Affects Versions: 2.2.1
            Reporter: Tim Lansbergen


Currently we are using the kafka-configs script to create SCRAM users in 
zookeeper. I execute the following command on the machine:

*./kafka-configs --zookeeper _ip-adres_:2181 --alter --add-config 
'SCRAM-SHA-256=[password=password]' --entity-type users --entity-name user123*

I would like to create users dynamically via a Java api. Since it is not 
possible to create SCRAM users via the KafkaAdminApi (please confirm?), I am 
now using the Kafka Scala class 'AdminZkClient' to create users the same as way 
as the ConfigCommand currently does. It looks like the AdminZkClient doesn't 
provide a way to authenticate against zookeeper using SASL. I'm currently 
connecting to zookeeper without authentication and this is a security issue. Is 
it possible to connect with the AdminZkClient with SASL authentication?

I'm aware of issue KAFKA-5722 which is an improvement to use the AdminClient in 
the ConfigCommand class so this issue might be a duplicate but I would like to 
know if it is possible to authenticate using SASL with the AdminZkClient.

Thanks!
