Hi,

I am using DataStage v11.5.

I have to publish message to Kafka cluster using Kafka connector (SSL authentication) but I am not sure what are the configuration and user access is required.

Could you please help if you know how to setup the secure connection (SSL) and any other configuration required at both end (InformationServer and Kafka Cluster).

Thanks,

We were also not able to connect to Kafka cluster via SSL on DataStage 11.5.

IBM's response was that
Kafka connector doesn't support environment variables. It only works if it is hardcoded in Datastage as in 11.7 IIS Version.

In 11.7 under properties of Kafka connector there are several protocols/authentications to choose. We compared the base code of both version and SSL is only supported in 11.7 version.
