[zx8086]

For a production cluster....

Works for me pretty well. Example configuration:

kouncil:
    clusters:
      - name: localhost 
        kafka:
          properties:
            security:
              protocol: SASL_PLAINTEXT
            sasl:
              mechanism: SCRAM-SHA-256
              jaas:
                config: org.apache.kafka.common.security.scram.ScramLoginModule required username="username" password="password";
        brokers:
          - host: localhost
            port: 9092

With the newest release (ver 1.5) all topics around authentication and TLS are implemented. Feel free to raise a question if anything that you need is missing.
