Description

Currently, if an AuthenticationClass is set, the client access is encrypted and requires authentication.
This is not exposed in the discovery ConfigMap to be picked up by other operators to configure their ZooKeeper access.

The discovery ConfigMap currently expose 3 fields:

  • ZOOKEEPER contains the full zookeeper connection string with znode (generally used)
  • ZOOKEEPER_CHROOT contains the znode (i think only for Nifi currently)
  • ZOOKEEPER_HOSTS contains the zookeeper connection string without znode (i think only for Nifi currently)

Temporary example proposal to add "secure" fields:

  • ZOOKEEPER_SECURE
  • ZOOKEEPER_HOSTS_SECURE
  • (ZOOKEEPER_CHROOT_SECURE) would be redundant
  • AUTHENTICATION_CLASS

This will be discussed further in the architecture meeting on 3rd of August.

Research direction

Start by locating the discovery ConfigMap implementation and the handling of AuthenticationClass in this operator. Review the proposed secure fields and the architecture discussion before choosing an exposed format. Done means the agreed authentication and secure connection information is available for other operators to configure ZooKeeper access.
