Apache Kafka Integration
Encryption-only TLS Configuration
If your Kafka deployment only uses TLS for encryption without authentication—that is, when ssl.client.auth is none or requested—the following Kafka session parameters are now optional when integrating with Vertica:
kafka_SSL_Certificatekafka_SSL_PrivateKey_secretkafka_SSL_PrivateKeyPassword_secret
For details on Kafka session parameters, see Kafka User-Defined Session Parameters.
This configuration also makes the scheduler keystore optional.
For details on configuring TLS for the scheduler, see Configuring Your Scheduler for TLS Connections.
