Kafka Connect Secret Registry

[harshit]

Hi All.
We are trying to configure the Kafka Connect Secret Registry for our Kafka Connect installation. We are running into a lot of issues, the latest of them being it complaining about missing the metadata server urls confluent.metadata.bootstrap.server.urls

I wanted to ask if Kafka Connect Secret Registry even supports working against Apache Kafka, or it inherently works only with Confluent Platform, and requires configuring the Metadata Service (MDS) for it to work correctly.

Any guidance from someone who has successfully got the Kafka Connect Secret Registry working will be helpful

Yes it requires Confluent RBAC, this is a proprietary feature.
You have a docker example there if you want: kafka-docker-playground/other/connect-secret-registry at master · vdesabou/kafka-docker-playground · GitHub

Thanks for confirming what we suspected!
