authorizer.class.name not being set on secure kafka clusters

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      The kafka-broker/authorizer.class.name property is not being set properly when Kerberos is enabled.

      The following logic should be followed:

      if Kerberos is enabled
        if ranger-kafka-plugin-properties/ranger-kafka-plugin-enabled == yes
          set authorizer.class.name to "org.apache.ranger.authorization.kafka.authorizer.RangerKafkaAuthorizer"
        else
          set authorizer.class.name to "kafka.security.auth.SimpleAclAuthorizer"
      else
        remove authorizer.class.name
      

      This should be updated in the stack advisor code.

      While at it, configurations from Kafka's kerberos.json file should be moved to the stack advisor to help ensure properties are set in the the same place to help with code maintenance and consistency.
