Configure credentials for your Apache Kafka connection.
Before you begin
Role required: connection_admin or message_replication_admin
About this task
Configure connection and credential records for connecting to your local Apache Kafka environment.
- The connection record contains the information required for making the connection to your local Kafka. Connection records are stored in the Kafka Connections [kafka_connection] table.
- The credential record stores the authentication data required for the connection. Credential records are stored in the Kafka credentials [kafka_credentials] table.
After you've created both the connection record and the credential record, you can Create a Connection & Credential alias, which links your connection information and the credential data under a single name.
