Failed to Set an ACL for a Kafka Topic, and "NoAuthException" Is Displayed

Symptom

When running the following command on the Kafka client to set the ACL for a topic, it is found that the topic ACL cannot be set.

kafka-acls.sh --authorizer-properties zookeeper.connect=10.5.144.2:2181/kafka  --topic topic_acl --producer --add --allow-principal User:test_acl

The error message "NoAuthException: KeeperErrorCode = NoAuth for /kafka-acl-changes/acl_changes_0000000002" is displayed.

Details are as follows:

Possible Causes

The user does not belong to the kafkaadmin group. Kafka provides a secure access interface. Only users in the kafkaadmin group can perform the setting operation.

Cause Analysis

  1. After the client command is run, the "NoAuthException" exception is reported.
  2. Run the client command klist to query the current authenticated user.
    [root@10-10-144-2 client]# klist
    Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0
    Default principal: test@HADOOP.COM
    
    Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
    01/25/17 11:06:48  01/26/17 11:06:45  krbtgt/HADOOP.COM@HADOOP.COM

    The test user is used in this example.

  3. Run the id command to query the user group information.
    [root@10-10-144-2 client]# id test
    uid=20032(test) gid=10001(hadoop) groups=10001(hadoop),9998(ficommon),10003(kafka)

Solution

MRS Manager:

  1. Log in to MRS Manager.
  2. Choose System > Manage User.
  3. In the Operation column of the user, click Modify.
  4. Add the user to the kafkaadmin group.
  5. Run the id command to query the user group information.

    [root@host1 client]# id test
    uid=20032(test) gid=10001(hadoop) groups=10001(hadoop),9998(ficommon),10002(kafkaadmin),10003(kafka)

FusionInsight Manager:

  1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager.
  2. Choose System > Permission > User.
  3. Locate the row that contains the target user, and click Modify.
  4. Add the user to the kafkaadmin group. Click OK.
  5. Run the id command to query the user group information.

    [root@10-10-144-2 client]# id test
    uid=20032(test) gid=10001(hadoop) groups=10001(hadoop),9998(ficommon),10002(kafkaadmin),10003(kafka)
