Authentication Mechanisms for Kafka Connect Rest APIs

[mandeep gandhi <we...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Currently, we support Basic Auth for Kafka Connect Rest APIs[0]. That is
being supported through connect Rest Extension[1]. I was wondering if we
had plans to extend the authentication mechanisms like SASL as in other
places in the Kafka Project.

[1] -

Thanks,

Mandeep Gandhi

More context - I am a noob here and want some help so that I can contribute
the auth bits.

Should I create a JIRA or/and a KIP?
If this is big enough for a KIP, please give me the permissions to create
one (username - ifconfig)
