Kafka - Security

Identify the error in this Kafka client configuration snippet:

props.put("security.protocol", "SSL");
props.put("sasl.mechanism", "PLAIN");

A"sasl.mechanism" should be "sasl.mechanisms"

BNo error, configuration is correct

C"security.protocol" should be "PLAINTEXT" for SASL

D"security.protocol" should be "SASL_SSL" to use SASL with SSL

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check security.protocol value
Using SASL with SSL requires "security.protocol" to be "SASL_SSL", not just "SSL".
Step 2: Confirm sasl.mechanism property name
The correct property is "sasl.mechanism" (singular), so that part is correct.
Final Answer:
"security.protocol" should be "SASL_SSL" to use SASL with SSL -> Option D
Quick Check:
Use SASL_SSL for SASL + SSL [OK]

Quick Trick: Use 'SASL_SSL' for combined SASL and SSL security [OK]
