Configuring Parameters

Procedure

Configure access_key, secret_key, and project_id in the dms_kafka_client_jaas.conf file.
The three parameters are used to authenticate DMS Kafka API requests.
```
KafkaClient {
  com.huawei.middleware.kafka.sasl.client.KafkaLoginModule required
  access_key="XXXXXX"
  secret_key="XXXXXX"
  project_id="XXXXXX";
};
```
Replace them with the actual access_key, secret_key, and project_id of your account.
To access the queues authorized by other tenants, set target_project_id to the project ID of the authorizing tenant.
```
KafkaClient {
  com.huawei.middleware.kafka.sasl.client.KafkaLoginModule required
  access_key="XXXXXX"
  secret_key="XXXXXX"
  project_id="XXXXXX"
  target_project_id="";
};
```
Configure SASL access to start upon process using either of the following methods. In both methods, replace /path with the actual path name.
1. Method 1: Configure the following JVM parameter to add the location of SASL configuration file:
```
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/path/kafka_client_jaas.conf
```
2. Method 2: Add the following information to project code so that SASL access can start before Kafka Producer and Consumer start:
```
System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "/path/kafka_client_jaas.conf");
```
Add the following information to the consumer.properties file:
```
connections.max.idle.ms=30000
```

Configure key parameters in the consumer.properties/producer.properties file.
