If I want to implement Kafka ACLs do I need have to specify a user principle? If so do I need to configure my producer and consumers to use a username and password?
Hi @jcrichfield
there is great tutorial/demo by @jaceklaskowski regarding ACLs
https://jaceklaskowski.gitbooks.io/apache-kafka/content/kafka-demo-acl-authorization.html
though I would recommend to plan carefully and check what you would like to achieve with the ACLs.
best,
michael
