At present we are confluent platform components which are maintained by confluent operator, have helm charts with default listener.security.protocol.map as PLAINTEXT, now I’m currently customize it to SSL, getting issues while deploying with those changes.

Reference Config

configOverrides:  
server:  
- listener.security.protocol.map =[“EXTERNAL:SSL,INTERNAL:PLAINTEXT,REPLICATION:SSL”]

Error:  
Pods are in Crashloop and kafka container is in waiting state.

Can you please help me with this…
