Chapter 12. KafkaListenerAuthenticationCustom schema reference


Used in: GenericKafkaListener

Full list of KafkaListenerAuthenticationCustom schema properties

Configures custom authentication for listeners.

To configure custom authentication, set the type property to custom. Custom authentication allows for any type of Kafka-supported authentication to be used.

Example custom OAuth authentication configuration

spec:
  kafka:
    config:
      principal.builder.class: SimplePrincipal.class
    listeners:
      - name: oauth-bespoke
        port: 9093
        type: internal
        tls: true
        authentication:
          type: custom
          sasl: true
          listenerConfig:
            oauthbearer.sasl.client.callback.handler.class: client.class
            oauthbearer.sasl.server.callback.handler.class: server.class
            oauthbearer.sasl.login.callback.handler.class: login.class
            oauthbearer.connections.max.reauth.ms: 999999999
            sasl.enabled.mechanisms: oauthbearer
            oauthbearer.sasl.jaas.config: |
              org.apache.kafka.common.security.oauthbearer.OAuthBearerLoginModule required ;
          secrets:
            - name: example

A protocol map is generated that uses the sasl and tls values to determine which protocol to map to the listener.

  • SASL = True, TLS = True SASL_SSL
  • SASL = False, TLS = True SSL
  • SASL = True, TLS = False SASL_PLAINTEXT
  • SASL = False, TLS = False PLAINTEXT

Secrets are mounted to /opt/kafka/custom-authn-secrets/custom-listener-<listener_name>-<port>/<secret_name> in the Kafka broker nodes' containers. For example, the mounted secret (example) in the example configuration would be located at /opt/kafka/custom-authn-secrets/custom-listener-oauth-bespoke-9093/example.

12.1. Setting a custom principal builder

You can set a custom principal builder in the Kafka cluster configuration. However, the principal builder is subject to the following requirements:

  • The specified principal builder class must exist on the image. Before building your own, check if one already exists. You’ll need to rebuild the Streams for Apache Kafka images with the required classes.
  • No other listener is using oauth type authentication. This is because an OAuth listener appends its own principle builder to the Kafka configuration.
  • The specified principal builder is compatible with Streams for Apache Kafka.

Custom principal builders must support peer certificates for authentication, as Streams for Apache Kafka uses these to manage the Kafka cluster.

Note

Kafka’s default principal builder class supports the building of principals based on the names of peer certificates. The custom principal builder should provide a principal of type user using the name of the SSL peer certificate.

The following example shows a custom principal builder that satisfies the OAuth requirements of Streams for Apache Kafka.

Example principal builder for custom OAuth configuration

public final class CustomKafkaPrincipalBuilder implements KafkaPrincipalBuilder {

    public KafkaPrincipalBuilder() {}

    @Override
    public KafkaPrincipal build(AuthenticationContext context) {
        if (context instanceof SslAuthenticationContext) {
            SSLSession sslSession = ((SslAuthenticationContext) context).session();
            try {
                return new KafkaPrincipal(
                    KafkaPrincipal.USER_TYPE, sslSession.getPeerPrincipal().getName());
            } catch (SSLPeerUnverifiedException e) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot use an unverified peer for authentication", e);
            }
        }

        // Create your own KafkaPrincipal here
        ...
    }
}

12.2. KafkaListenerAuthenticationCustom schema properties

The type property is a discriminator that distinguishes use of the KafkaListenerAuthenticationCustom type from KafkaListenerAuthenticationTls, KafkaListenerAuthenticationScramSha512, KafkaListenerAuthenticationOAuth. It must have the value custom for the type KafkaListenerAuthenticationCustom.

Expand
PropertyProperty typeDescription

type

string

Must be custom.

sasl

boolean

Enable or disable SASL on this listener.

listenerConfig

map

Configuration to be used for a specific listener. All values are prefixed with listener.name.<listener_name>.

secrets

GenericSecretSource array

Secrets to be mounted to /opt/kafka/custom-authn-secrets/custom-listener-<listener_name>-<port>/<secret_name>.
