We would like to create a Kafka producer in C# (.NET) using the Confluent Kafka implementation (GitHub - confluentinc/confluent-kafka-dotnet: Confluent's Apache Kafka .NET client).
For authentication we need to use remote Kerberos authentication with username and password. The only examples that I can find are with a “keytab” file, which we don’t have.
Would anyone have an example of how this can be done?
The “Kerberos .NET” library (GitHub - dotnet/Kerberos.NET: A Kerberos implementation built entirely in managed code.) allows to generate a GssApi ticket key. See the example under “Using The Kerberos Client”. But how can we use that ticket with Confluent?
