Kafka Token Authentication Mechanism Tool Usage

Scenario

Operations need to be performed on tokens when the token authentication mechanism is used.

Prerequisites

  • The system administrator has understood service requirements and prepared a system user.
  • The Kafka client has been installed.

Procedure

  1. Log in as a client installation user to the node on which the Kafka client is installed.
  2. Switch to the Kafka client installation directory, for example, /opt/kafkaclient.

    cd /opt/kafkaclient

  3. Run the following command to configure environment variables:

    source bigdata_env

  4. Run the following command to perform user authentication (skip this step in normal mode):

    kinit Component service user

  5. Run the following command to switch to the Kafka client installation directory:

    cd Kafka/kafka/bin

  6. Use kafka-delegation-tokens.sh to perform operations on tokens.

    • Generate a token for a user.

      ./kafka-delegation-tokens.sh --create --bootstrap-server <IP1:PORT, IP2:PORT,...> --max-life-time-period <Long: max life period in milliseconds> --command-config <config file> --renewer-principal User:<user name>

      Example: ./kafka-delegation-tokens.sh --create --bootstrap-server 192.168.1.1:21007,192.168.1.2:21007,192.168.1.3:21007 --command-config ../config/producer.properties --max-life-time-period -1 --renewer-principal User:username

    • List information about all tokens of a specified user.

      ./kafka-delegation-tokens.sh --describe --bootstrap-server <IP1:PORT, IP2:PORT,...> --command-config <config file> --owner-principal User:<user name>

      Example: ./kafka-delegation-tokens.sh --describe --bootstrap-server 192.168.1.1:21007,192.168.1.2:21007,192.168.1.3:21007 --command-config ../config/producer.properties --owner-principal User:username

    • Update the token validity period.

      ./kafka-delegation-tokens.sh --renew --bootstrap-server <IP1:PORT, IP2:PORT,...> --renew-time-period <Long: renew time period in milliseconds> --command-config <config file> --hmac <String: HMAC of the delegation token>

      Example: ./kafka-delegation-tokens.sh --renew --bootstrap-server 192.168.1.1:21007,192.168.1.2:21007,192.168.1.3:21007 --renew-time-period -1 --command-config ../config/producer.properties --hmac ABCDEFG

    • Destroy a token.

      ./kafka-delegation-tokens.sh --expire --bootstrap-server <IP1:PORT, IP2:PORT,...> --expiry-time-period <Long: expiry time period in milliseconds> --command-config <config file> --hmac <String: HMAC of the delegation token>

      Example: ./kafka-delegation-tokens.sh --expire --bootstrap-server 192.168.1.1:21007,192.168.1.2:21007,192.168.1.3:21007 --expiry-time-period -1 --command-config ../config/producer.properties --hmac ABCDEFG
