Story

As a user of Cluster Log Forwarding,
I want to rely upon username and password to authenticate against Kafka using SASL/PLAIN.
 

Acceptance Criteria

• Username and passwords are not visible in the configuration as plain text but configured as a Secret
• Integration test that utilizes username and password for the Kafka output and mapping this to sasl_plain_username and sasl_plain_password.
• Must work with either HTTP or HTTPs.

Non Goals

• Support for GSSAPI and SCRAM.

Notes

• Modify verification checks to require username and password as a set

Documentation Consideration

• Extend the Kafka section with information on how to setup a Secret that contains username and password, and if necessary everything for setting up certificates if HTTPS is being used.
