I’ve been given keystore.jks and truststore.jks files to connect to a broken. I have used them successfully to connect using a sample Java application (using the Confluent library, I believe), so I know the certs are good. I can’t figure out how to connect to the same broker using the C# library. There are ConsumerConfig properties for the Keystore location and password, but nothing for the truststore.

How can I do this?

I found this github issue ([[Question] Why is there no ssl.truststore option in config? · Issue #941 · confluentinc/confluent-kafka-dotnet · GitHub](https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-dotnet/issues/941)) from a couple years ago that is asking the same question as I have, but I’m not following the solution correctly.

Are there step by step instructions on what steps to take in my situation?
