Does DMS for Kafka Support Authentication with Kerberos?

No, Kerberos authentication is not supported. Kafka supports client authentication with SASL and API calling authentication using tokens and AK/SK.

To access an instance in SASL mode, you need the certificates provided by DMS for Kafka. For details, see Accessing a Kafka Instance with SASL.
