💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using PLAINTEXT disables encryption.

Confusing SASL_SSL with SSL alone.

To enable SSL encryption, the security.protocol must be set to SSL.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to specify the location of the Kafka client's truststore file.

Kafka

ssl.truststore.location=[1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A/etc/kafka/client.keystore.jks

B/etc/kafka/client.truststore.jks

C/etc/kafka/server.keystore.jks

D/etc/kafka/server.truststore.jks

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using keystore file instead of truststore.

Pointing to server-side files instead of client-side.

The ssl.truststore.location must point to the client's truststore file, which holds trusted certificates.

3fill in blank

Fix the error in the Kafka SSL configuration property name.

Kafka

ssl.keystore.pasword=[1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Assl.keystore.password

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Misspelling 'password' as 'pasword'.

Using incorrect property names.

The correct property name is ssl.keystore.password to specify the keystore password.

4fill in blank

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping keystore and truststore passwords.

Using default or empty passwords.

The keystore password is set with ssl.keystore.password and the truststore password with ssl.truststore.password.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a Kafka SSL configuration dictionary with protocol, keystore location, and truststore location.

Kafka

config = {
    'security.protocol': [1],
    'ssl.keystore.location': [2],
    'ssl.truststore.location': [3]
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'SSL'

B'/etc/kafka/client.keystore.jks'

C'/etc/kafka/client.truststore.jks'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using PLAINTEXT instead of SSL.

Incorrect file paths or missing quotes.

The security.protocol must be set to 'SSL' for encryption. The keystore and truststore locations must point to the correct client files.
