Description
I am trying to use OpenSearch Ingestion to consume data from Kafka, but my Kafka cluster is configured to use SSL/TLS with mutual authentication (mTLS). This means I only have a client certificate and key for authentication, without a username/password.
Could you confirm whether SSL/TLS authentication with a client certificate (without username/password) is not supported?
Thanks in advance for your help

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Kafka consumer authentication configuration used by OpenSearch Ingestion and checking whether it exposes client-certificate and private-key settings without username/password. Done should be a clear determination of mTLS support and, if unsupported, a defined implementation scope; the issue provides no file or test names.
