mutual Transport Layer Security - mTLS

Giriş

Açıklaması şöyle

mTLS enables clients to authenticate servers, and servers to reciprocally authenticate clients.

Kafka supports other authentication mechanisms, like OAuth, or Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM), but we chose mTLS because it is able to verify the peer’s identity offline. This verification ability means that systems do not need an active connection to an authentication server to ascertain the identity of a peer. This enables operating in disparate network environments, where all parties do not necessarily have access to such a central authority.
