Description

Hi,
I am trying to configure Burrow with Kafka SASL. I am using kafka image from wurstmeister with the following configuration:

```
kafka:
image: wurstmeister/kafka:1.0.0
network_mode: host
restart: on-failure
environment:
KAFKA_LISTENER_SECURITY_PROTOCOL_MAP: SASL_PLAINTEXT:SASL_PLAINTEXT,OUTSIDE:PLAINTEXT
KAFKA_ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_NAME: OUTSIDE
KAFKA_PROTOCOL_NAME: SASL_PLAINTEXT
KAFKA_ADVERTISED_PORT: "9094"
KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT: "183.155.2.197:2181"
KAFKA_INTER_BROKER_PROTOCOL: PLAIN
KAFKA_SASL_MECHANISM_INTER_BROKER_PROTOCOL: PLAIN
KAFKA_SASL_ENABLED_MECHANISMS: PLAIN
KAFKA_AUTHORIZER_CLASS_NAME: kafka.security.auth.SimpleAclAuthorizer
KAFKA_SUPER_USERS: "User:admin"
KAFKA_OPTS: "-Djava.security.auth.login.config=jaas.conf"
```
jaas.conf:

```
KafkaServer {
org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required
username="admin"
password="adminpass"
};
```

And Burrow with the following configuration:
```

[general]
access-control-allow-origin="*"

[logging]
level="debug"

[zookeeper]
servers=["183.155.2.197:2181"]

[client-profile.kafka-profile]
kafka-version="1.0.0"
client-id="burrow-client"
sasl="mysasl"

[sasl.mysasl]
username="admin"
password="adminpass"

[cluster.my_cluster]
class-name="kafka"
client-profile="kafka-profile"
servers=["183.155.2.197:9094"]
topic-refresh=120
offset-refresh=10

[consumer.consumer_kafka]
class-name="kafka"
cluster="my_cluster"
servers=["183.155.2.197:9094"]
client-profile="kafka-profile"
start-latest=false
offsets-topic="__consumer_offsets"
group-blacklist="^(console-consumer-|python-kafka-consumer-).*$"

[consumer.consumer_zk]
class-name="kafka_zk"
cluster="my_cluster"
servers=["183.155.2.197:2181"]
zookeeper-timeout=30
group-blacklist="^(console-consumer-|python-kafka-consumer-).*$"

[httpserver.default]
address=":8002"
```
When i turn off SASL_PLAINTEXT on Kafka, Burrow starts with success and is connected to kafka brokers. With this configuration i get the following error during burrow<->kafka connection:
```

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the Burrow-to-Kafka connection with the supplied Docker, JAAS, and Burrow configurations, then trace the connection using the reported broker error. Done means identifying the SASL_PLAINTEXT compatibility or configuration cause and documenting a verified working setup.
