Does kerberos authentication work in Kafka under OpenJDK?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

When I run kafka with kerberos authentication enabled under OpenJDK, I get the error "unable to load krb5.conf". Changing Java to oracle solves the issue instantly. Are there any restrictions on the use of krb in OpenJDK, or perhaps I need to connect with other keys (I use -Djava.security.krb5.conf=path now)?

Answer 1

Unlikely. I insisted on kerberos, though not in kafka, and everything worked for me both on azul and on adopt. Most likely the problem is something else.
