Understanding Kafka ACLs

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
