> Certificate pinning as well as authenticating kafka brokers using a non-public CA certificate maintained inside an organisation is desirable to a lot of users. This can be accomplished today using the {{ssl.truststore.location}} configuration property. Unfortunately, this value is always interpreted as a filesystem path which makes distribution of such an alternative truststore a needlessly cumbersome process. If we had the ability to load a trust store from the classpath as well as from a file, the trust store could be shipped in a jar that could be declared as a regular maven style dependency.
> If we did this by supporting prefixing {{ssl.truststore.location}} with {{classpath:}} this could be a backwards compatible change, one that builds on prior design patterns established by for example the Spring project.
