Securing the Confluent Schema Registry for Apache Kafka | Confluent

What this post added

This post details the configuration steps for securing the Confluent Schema Registry to work with a secured Kafka cluster. It covers configuring SASL for authentication with Kafka and ZooKeeper, setting up Kafka ACLs for the Schema Registry to access the `_schemas` topic, and enabling HTTPS for the Schema Registry's REST API. It provides specific configuration examples for JAAS files, Kafka properties, and ACL commands, along with an analogy to explain the security concepts.
