Strimzi Operator

About the Strimzi Operator

Strimzi is a component that deploys and monitors a Kafka cluster. (Zookeeper and Broker). On this page we discuss Strimzi commands which are used often in Kafka administration.

Please also refer to the Strimzi Documentation for some advanced information on administering a Kafka cluster with Strimzi.

Principal Chain Builder

In case you want to enable principal chain based ACL authentication, you need to provide the custom principal builder class.

kafka:
  fullName: "kafka-local"
  kafka:
    config:
      default.replication.factor: 1
      min.insync.replicas: 1
      principal.builder.class: io.axual.security.auth.SslPrincipalBuilder

In order for the above to work, you will need to provide a broker image that contains that class as part of the class path. The default strimzi base images do not support this feature out of the box.
